Possibly. I am in the market for a MRAP though.

No tax returns...

Tax returns have been screwed up for years. Lawmakers can't get all the decisions made in time to print them for January 1 so even if you want to file early, you can't if you need one of the forms that hasn't been finalized. Irritating.

Can I have my "withholding" back?

Nope.

Has the ATF shut down? Or are they considered essential? None of Congress is affected by the shut down. They're still getting paid. Not really much incentive for them to end it. At least the Democrats have something to do now, instead of introducing more gun control bills.

Have not had a tax return in years.

Some people aren’t getting paid and still have to work.....so it effects a fair amount.

They will get back pay when the shut down ends. I know that doesn't help those living check to check tho.

When does anyone in DC work, I like to see that

All Fed employees work in DC?
Maybe if you knew a little Texas geography, you'd realize he's most likely speaking of BPAs.

These things don't affect the people that it really should. That's what sucks about it.

No tax returns...

That's OK. I'll just take mine in Federal property of equal value.....and there are FBI and BATFE offices within driving distance....

For most of them it's free time off with pay.

To All,

Just this AM, I heard on WOAI-AM Radio that about 382,000 "NON-essential federal employees" have been "furloughed without pay". = Can we make those furloughs PERMANENT??

It seems to me that, "non-essential" means "unnecessary". = WHY are we paying UNNECESSARY employees??

just my OPINION, satx

National Parks shut down yet?

In Hot Springs National Park, AR, government hive worker's close, with one hand, the pipe shutoff valve to the spring water available to the public on the roadside free water "points" (read faucets)

That there is some petty BS.

That'll teach you, citizen ...
