Luis Fortuño (a.k.a. - Milhouse), to lay off an additional 17,000 government employees, labor unions called for a "people's strike" to be held on Thursday, 10/15/09. In total this year, the recently elected government has laid off around 25,000 public employees. This most recent lay off projects to push the already absurb unemployment rate from 15% to 17%. Fortuño has threatened to charge protesters with terrorism if they block the function of the air and sea ports.
