The dems are doing exactly what school boards do to force the tax payers to pass their budget.
But instead of sports programs, which constitute a miniscule portion of the budget, they are hanging something else that means a lot to Americans over their heads, and that is paying the military.
It’s despicable no matter who is doing it.
It’s blackmail.
The school boards do it to raise taxes. This shut down is not blackmail in that sense
