Moving beyond efforts to block expansion of health care for the poor and disabled, Republican governors in 15 states are now rejecting a new, federally funded summer program to give food assistance to hungry children.

The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country.

    Just bypass the states entirely and send the money directly to the qualifying families. Federal programs shouldn’t need a rubber stamp from backwater states anyways. These assholes are virtue signaling while kids go hungry.
