WASHINGTON (AP) - ``This is something that nobody wants.'' That's what Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is saying about the automatic cuts that would trim $85 billion in domestic and defense spending and leading to furloughs for hundreds of thousands of federal workers. At the National Governors Association annual meeting in Washington, both Democratic and Republican state leaders are warning that the budget stalemate could undermine the nation's economy.

I want the furlough of hundreds of thousands of government employees. Would do those folks some good to have to find a real job in the real world.
