While the possible government shutdown means most federal employees, from the National Park Service workers to those handling your tax returns at the IRS, won't be coming into work, some bureaucrats at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are going to keep punching the clock.

Our best option at this point is to Triple Planned Parenthood funding. It will save Trillions in the long run. It may be the best “investment” the government can make.

No doubt. The logic is impeccable absent any morals.

So in the IRS, those handling tax returns are furloughed, but I heard that tax collectors are not. Is that so?

Are they going to shut down the IRS website at midnight—but still demand the tax forms be filed on time?
