Budget stalemate reveals which federal agencies are 'essential' -- and not

The Environmental Protection Agency, for instance, has retained just 6.6 percent of its workforce. Of more than 16,000 employees, just over 1,000 are on the job.

The Internal Revenue Service, which has taken a beating this year over allegations that it targeted conservative groups for additional scrutiny, has just 9.3 percent of its workforce hanging around this week. At a big agency like the IRS, that's still nearly 9,000 workers.   

Even NASA, the storied beacon of space exploration which has helped define the direction of this country, is down to 3 percent of its staff.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is at the top of the list of agencies that are operating at nearly full force. According to the contingency plans, the department has 95 percent of its workers on the job. Signaling the political importance of keeping that agency running, House Republican lawmakers are pushing a bill Thursday to make sure all VA operations are funded.

Will Barry go on his next vacation? (yes)
Will his golf games continue? (yes)
Will the leftists/MSM/DU keep sucking his cock? (oh, yes)


When the Government turns on the people the people owe it no loyalty.
