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.

Making the government as dysfunctional as possible is a major component of their strategy for governance.
Why act in good faith in service to your constituents when you can make things worse and get reelected when you point to how poorly you run things and call it “government waste”?
American voters fail to see this connection and thus continue the churn of ineffective government.
