Reply #10: of course. they get paid no matter what. now I wonder about the quandry my sister must be in right

now. she is a republican. she LOVES faux news yet she works for the IRS. she was NOT happy about the pay freeze she got. can't say as I blame her. i wouldn't be happy with that either. but if the government shuts down, does that mean she and my BIL who also works for the IRS.... in collections no less, will end up without a paycheck? they are living right on the edge as it is. they have all kinds of medical bills for their daughter who has had several seizures requiring an ambulance at $300 a pop each time in the past few months alone. not to mention all the other copays they have incurred. I worry how they will fare.
