They don't like this program because they have no control over the funds. And it's an election year so they want to virtue signal on welfare and spending. But they are fine with all the other funds their states leech off the federal government.
And Pillen is an especially big hypocrite here, because he's a total welfare queen. Farm subsidies, millions in forgiven pandemic loans, 25$ million to build a pork processing factory. Pillen loves the government teat. What a piece of shit.
Remember: The cruelty is the point.
2020 - S05E14 - The Kids Aren't Alright
Republican governors in 15 states are rejecting a new federally funded program to give food assistance to hungry children during the summer months, denying benefits to 8 million children across the country. The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country. The governors have given varying reasons for refusing to take part, from the price tag to the fact that the final details of the plan have yet to be worked out. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) said bluntly, “I don’t believe in welfare.” - TV-MA, 54 mins

If this were a west wing episode it would be dismissed as ridiculous and offensive.
i wish Bartlett was our president
Republicans, where the only children they give a shit about are the ones not born yet.
There are a couple handful of Republican states that haven't taken advantage of the expanded medicaid help for poor people as well. Even though Federal funds pay 90% of the bill. Republican voters and Republican reps have such a BDSM relationship.
damn these stupid fucking Republicans just want to make more shit head people. red states are about to be nothing but lowest common denominator states and the sensible blue enclaves are going to have to deal with that special brand of extra-leaded kind of retard shooting up Schools, raping other kids, polluting the environment, voting Republican and going to church. Fucking no-no thing hicks forget who buys their shit from them and it's not broke ass rednecks.
