That’s What They Do When You Give In To Them

Just like children, politicians lean outside the shopping cart and demand things. When you give in to them they demand more and more.

“Trump Tweet: “Democrats Want To Shut Government” Over “OCare Failure” and Puerto Rico”

After President Trump flipped on two major campaign promises yesterday, funding for the border wall and obamacare subsidies, many believed that a government shutdown crisis had been averted.

But, that is only because most of the mainstream media doesn’t understand, or is simply unwilling to admit, that Democrats aren’t looking for a ‘deal’ on a funding bill… they actually want a government shutdown. Here’s what we said yesterday (see: “Flipper-In-Chief: Trump Caves On Obamacare Subsidies To Avoid Government Shutdown”):

Of course, it’s only logical that Democrats would secretly want a government shut down. In the end, Republicans (i.e. the fiscally conservative party that is generally looking to reduce entitlements rather than increase them) typically tend to take the brunt of the public backlash for government shutdowns and all of the media coverage provides a very effective bully pulpit for liberals. Well played, Chuck and Nancy.

Of course, in that context, it’s not terribly surprising at all that Democrats keep piling on new demands for a budget deal.”
