Fifteen states — all but one run by Republican governors — skipped the deadline to apply for a new federally-funded program that will provide $120 per child for groceries during the summer months to families of children who already qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at school.
Could you imagine the uproar if the federal government forced these states to participate in programs like this? Having them volunteer seems better in the long run. I mean, if a place like Ohio feels that strongly about not taking money from the government, why stop them? Speaking as someone who lives there, it’s on us to vote out the people too stupid/stubborn to take free money.
