Will the IRS offices open in a week, or are we stuck waiting infinitely, so the government can keep our money as long as they can?

The IRS will open for 2017 filing on Jan 29, 2018.

If you have EIC or ACTC see this IRS article:

So, what you are saying is that, "YES!" We are waiting infinitely for our tax returns, if we don't have access to a computer. So, therefore, the poor people, who need this money the most, will NOT receive their refunds in a timely manner, because a bunch of "adults" are bickering about who will get to live here in The United States of America. We have way too many people waiting for their checks during the coldest months of the century...as heating bills go sky-high!!! Many of us need this money, it's time to pay the big bills: electric heat, propane, utilities(water/sewer), phone bills( you know you called someone for the holiday that lives far away), credit card bills, cable(you rented a movie to quell the cabin fever, while it felt like -8 degrees F outside). While this is just fun for some of you, it is most of our lives on the line here...or are we just experiencing your version of population control? How long before Americans get really angry at this grade school-yard bickering and do something really revolutionary?
