7. Republican Starvation Tactic
Mon Apr 24, 2017, 10:36 AM
Apr 2017

Republicans like to use starvation as a political tactic. Whether starving poor children receiving food assistance or starving ("the beast&quot government of necessary resources to function, they do it with no remorse. Currently, Republicans are intentionally starving the Russian investigation by not funding it, unlike the Benghazi investigation, where they spent millions of dollars without hesitation. An investigation of this magnitude requires enormous resources for trained investigators, prosecutors, and so forth, or it will wither and die -- just what the Republicans are looking to make happen.
