Certain liberals are calling the Republican’s use of negotiation “extortion”.
Yep, and I’m sure most if not all of them know it’s a bald faced lie.
We, the People, don’t feel the need to fund our own destruction.
Extortion is an acceptable practice when it involves the federal government. The IRS depends upon extortion to operate. The federal government extorts states into accepting federal policies by withholding funds. It’s common practice. The radical leftists passed the Obamacare disaster, and Congress is perfectly within its rights to withhold funding for it. It is the Senate and Obama that are shutting down government to extort Congress into paying for their mess.
Is that what they call it when union labor goes out on strike???
