Government shut downs benefit no one and hurt everyone-not just the workers. Trump needs to rethink his strategy on the border and quit hurting innocent Americans.

When was the last time you saw a post that didn't vilify the IRS?

Aw poor baby. You make a living by stealing money from people who actually earn, I hope you never go back to work!!!

Save some money and just do it.

Same old narrative...find a person, non white, non male, tell a sad story...push your agenda....much like the Bolivian musician who was forced to work for a drug cartel...

Wooja wooja woo! Play me a tune on the worlds smallest violin.

This woman lost her husband to an illegal on Christmas Day. Cry us a freaking river. FundTheWall

She should call her congressional representitives. Trump has no control over the shutdown until congress agrees on and sends him a bill. Report that fact NPR!

If Democrats will only perform the prime function of government and protect the citizenry from invasion then Priscilla's wedding reception will be just fine.

Trump couldn’t care less because walls.

senatemajldr Family values, eh? Also NOT fiscally conservative by a long shot.

TrumpShutdown

Chances anyone will ever feel bad for an IRS employee = 0%

Kate Steinle’s father will never be able to walk his daughter down the aisle. Seems like a good time to report on that or maybe that immigrant Ronile Singh will never be able to take his child to kindergarten. Those are cancelled - not delayed.

Lots of ignorant people on here spouting nonsense about “managing money”. You Sons-a-bitches don’t know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, or what it’s like to never get a break and see that your salary just can’t stretch to leave room for putting some away.

Bummer. Everyone has to make sacrifices

Oh no. The people who steal my money all year long are hurting because they aren't receiving our money. GOOD Go get a job in the private sector

Huh? Take a loan out like the rest of America. Why are we supposed to be so sympathetic to governmental workers? How many people in the private sector have been pink slipped because of dumb gov regulations, contracting, terrible policies.

I wonder if she feels bad when her agency audits people and forces them to cancel their wedding plans because the IRS messed up on their end of the payroll deduction.

Sure the shut down sucks, but in the private sector when your company runs out of money your job is gone forever. It was never guaranteed. Government workers, especially non essentials are lucky that eventually they’ll get their old jobs back, probably w back pay.

How’d she vote? Against Trump? I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. For Trump? You’re getting what you paid for. No longer mincing big and little words for Trump followers.

Why are all these people that don’t know how to save or manage money helping run our country. Now you know where your tax dollars are going. Waste.

ah, another sob story from npr, I see no stories of the victims of Illegal Immigrants How is the family of Cpl. Ronil Singh, a LEGAL Immigrant, who was murdered by a ILLEGAL Immigrant. Are they able to feed themselves now that they've had their provider taken from them?

Trump couldn’t care less because walls and racism.

So... what about the people’s homes she’s worked to take away? Will they get their homes back when the shutdown is over? No, then who give a monkeys ass?

Talk to Nancy. Compromise

We got married without a wedding reception.

Oh please, more npr liberal bs

I must remember that if I have nothing nice to say.... 🤫.......😏

Don’t care

If she cant make it a week, and knowing she is gonna be paid in full when its over? Then she sure as hell shouldnt be in charge of taking my money.

Maybe get married in simple civil marriage. Then church wedding later on.

And?!

This story is the least of the least concerning but im sure it sucks

Lol

Marriages are not a reception.

Really?

awwwwwwww. Maybe if Pelosi didn't have temper tantrum she could get married.

IRS works for the Federal Reserve. A private cartel... Too bad.

I feel for her. We had to cancel our Disneyland honeymoon because the company we worked for closed. It sucked! This is not quite as serious as rent or food but it's still a problem.

Better cancel it now ... doesnt seem hostage taker nancy will be releasing the workers anytime soon; Just closed the house till monday
