Why are repubs only trying to fund feel-good programs (vets, parks) and not something like IRS that actually?

It's a smoke screen designed to make Obama and the Democrats appear "guilty" of shutting down the government.

Unfortunately for them, most people see it as the desperate tactic it is.

Republicans are losing the battle. Public opinion is against them; heck even some Republicans in Congress are against them.

Feel good programs? Republicans? Are you stupid? It wasw OweBlamer that promised universal health care at low costs. The cost of which is many times what I was paying before. Then, The government had 3 years to prepare for implementation, and the servers crashed on day one!

Don't buy a pig in a poke, and certainly learn to think and observe the world around you free of prejudice.

Yeah, just can't wait to hear from my local agent, he has no humor, hates taxpayers and views everybody guilty of something sinister whether they have done anything or not. Just a bowl of cherries.

A link to agencies that are open for business. As you will notice, the IRS is also open for business, never get between a politician and the collection of money to waste.

Actually from what I have heard and read they are trying to fund the entire government with the exception of Obama care.

They are sending the funding bills to the Senate piecemeal instead of one complete budget bill.

Harry Reid is objecting to this approach even though that is how the government has been funded more often than not while he has lead the Senate.

They will fund the IRS also. Just we need to either give everyone a waiver or no one a waiver.

The IRS collects money whether they're open or not.

Really? You think that without the IRS we don't have to pay taxes? Hate to break it to you, but you still will owe taxes on what you make while the gov't is shut down. FAIL.

I have my home, and on october 5, 2013 i leave this nation! If it were up to me i would pass a law that the government will give 500,000 dollars to any republican who leaves and you libs can destroy america like you did detriot!

Ask Obama. HIm and the Senate are the one's who decided which programs got shut down and which one's didn't. They're trying to make this as painful as they can in an attempt to make Republicans look bad. Don't kid yourself, Obama is the biggest political hack of them all. Lord knows he can't fall back on his successful track record as president.

the irs is a wart on the *** of America!
