Um, that's a big negative. Plenty of stuff shuts down, probably close to half of everything.

Oh no the local IRS office may be closed. Are you kidding?

You are wrong. Armed forces personnel still get paid.

No sir...you are dead wrong. I've already had this argument today.

Only once Congress acts. According to the Department of Defense, the military, along with "essential" civilians, will not be paid until funds are appropriated. Troops will continue to earn their paychecks but won't receive them unless and until a new spending bill that includes backpay is passed.

So they Will get paid, right?

Why are you arguing that they won't?

No they won't get paid until there's a special act from Congress or the budget issue is resolved. If this goes a week active servicemen won't get their weekly check and will have to wait for backpay.

I just got something at Target and it was only 3% sales tax. No idea if the two are linked...

No, you are wrong.

Wouldn't depend on all that funding if the federal government wasn't taking so much money out of the states to begin w/.
