[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Furlough starts either in March or April, I can't remember. [/quote]

NPR's Hill correspondent thought that the sequester [i]would[/i] go into effect on March 1, but that they'd come to an agreement before April 1 in order to prevent any furloughs (which would start April 1).

So the sequester will [i]technically[/i] go into effect and everyone will freak the fuck out and we'll be subjected to endless bullshit on the 24-hour news stations, but that it won't [i]actually[/i] go into effect.[/quote]

Even if they come to an agreement on the budget before April 1, there could still be furloughs.  There's been a lot of talk that the proposal will be to keep the govt. running on current levels until the end of the fiscal year.  Current levels mean sequester levels, which means that in certain agencies, there will still be furloughs.

The continuing resolution that is funding the govt. runs out on March 27.  At that point, we're not talking sequester; we're talking shutdown, which is a different animal.
