SS and welfare will not stop getting payment. Ever. Whoever says otherwise is lying.
IRS "slowdowns" are total bullschit too. They are operating at 100% and always will.
...and Welfare funds do not run ob Federal dollars alone. City, County and State monies are also part of the Free Giveaway to the worthless.
States will continue to fund their own Welfare systems and those on the dole will be just as fine and just as useless as they were before the shutdown.
