The partial government shutdown continues, as President Trump and Democrats continue the standoff over Trump’s demand for border wall funding. Now that tax season is almost upon us, the White House budget director has said what will happen with Americans’ tax returns if the shutdown is still going on:
BREAKING NEWS: White House confirms that tax refunds will go out and will not be impacted by government shutdown. Guidance will come soon to make this official. @CBSNews

So if that’s the case, everybody should still get their tax refunds as usual.
This is what happens when Democrats aren’t in charge of the government trying make the OMG SHUTDOWN as painful as possible instead of what it actually is: UTTERLY INSIGNIFICANT.

In contrast to the Obama administration’s shutdown where they labored to ensure maximum public pain during the shutdown. https://t.co/b96xYSXGI7

It also is an indication about how long @POTUS is willing to keep the shutdown going.
