A lengthy article published on the Bloomberg site today explains various strategies budget negotiators are using in hopes of avoiding another government shutdown next year.

Such a reduction would require agents to be on furlough for 10 to 15 days, group President Reynaldo Tariche said.
'We believe this will have a drastic effect on active investigations,' Tariche said at a Washington news conference. 'Terrorists don’t get furloughed, cyberhackers don’t get furloughed, gang leaders are not on furlough.'"
