It should not come as any surprise that a Democrat politician put some of his biggest donors, the teachers unions, ahead of students. Yet for some reason, it was a wake-up call for those in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro has often indicated that he supports the state GOP\u2019s plan to fund $100 million worth of vouchers for private and public schools. That plan passed in Pennsylvania\u2019s GOP-controlled state Senate but faced scrutiny in the state House. Democrats \u2014 and their major backers \u2014 fiercely opposed the plan. The House slowed down the budget\u2019s passage while demanding an increase in public school funding. So, in turn, Shapiro reneged on his compromises with the GOP and used his line-item veto to strike it from the deal on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the Senate Republicans issued a statement, apparently dumbfounded that a Democrat would do such a thing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Statement from Pennsylvania Senate Republicans: &#8220;We negotiated in good faith and were eager to stand with Governor Shapiro on one of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/life-lesson-number-one-dont-be-so-eager-to-work-with-the-left\/\" title=\"Lesson One: Avoid rushing to collaborate with the Left.\">priority campaign commitments \u2014 supporting school choice opportunities<\/a>.

They are not looking for compromise or to do the honorable thing \u2014 unless it helps their party or expands Democrat power.<\/p>\n<p>Consider that Shapiro is the same guy who stood alongside President Joe Biden as he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/11\/05\/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-democratic-national-committee-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blasted<\/a> \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d as being threats to democracy. He\u2019s the same guy who stood by Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) as his campaign told the Pennsylvanian people that he had virtually zero health problems on the campaign trail \u2014 despite suffering from depression and the effects of a stroke. Shapiro is also the same politician who reportedly has his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/news\/josh-shapiro-president-future-20230117.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eyes set on higher office<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In light of all that, and with his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-asks-court-to-reinstate-youtube-account\/\" title=\"President Trump asks court to reinstate YouTube account\">potential political future<\/a> on the line, why would anybody trust him to operate with integrity?<\/p>\n<p>It should be assumed Shapiro \u2014 and every other Democratic leader \u2014 has the same animus that Biden, the de facto leader of the party, has for the GOP. The fish rots from the head down, as they say.<\/p>\n<p>When dealing with the Left, it is best to be smart and assume the worst; good faith negotiations with the Democrats don\u2019t exist.
