A car arrives at the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in Los Angeles, California on February 13, 2009. The DMV, already infamous for long waiting times, is now further taxed as employees are off the job and the offices are closed two days a month as California government imposes its first-ever unpaid furlough to save money during the fiscal crisis. The action is in connection with Schwarzenegger�s executive order that addresses the state�s 42 billion USD deficit and ongoing fiscal crisis. Schwarzenegger has also threatened to lay off as many as 10,000 state employees if a new budget is not passed this week.
