When you take a job, how much does your salary factor into the reason you accept?
 

While watching the morning news on New Year's Eve, my eyes widened to see the letters "IOU" go across the screen.

According to the State Controller, John Chiang, legislators may soon be seeing IOUs instead of paychecks. This could happen as early as Feb. 1 due to the state's budget problems.

If you were to begin receiving IOUs from your employer, how would you feel? Would you continue to work?

Do you think this is a fair way for the state to allocate its money and alleviate further debt?

Do you think that legislators are doing a service for the state and therefore should be the first ones impacted by the deficit?
