The FAA stand-off is over for now. Reid held firm against the GOP extortion demands, worker's rights are preserved, and 75,000 Americans can go back to work.

Take a lesson, Obama! Never give in to extortion!

The dispute over the extension involves language in the House proposal that would reduce or kill subsidies to rural airports, specifically targeting some in Nevada, Montana and New Mexico -- three states with influential Democratic senators.

Democrats supporting federal handouts while proclaiming they are not to blame for deficits.. AGAIN..
