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.

    Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ® said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”

    What is wrong with these people? I just can’t even.

    If these Republican governors were the villains in a book or movie or something, people would say they’re too over the top evil and not believable.

      Fiction, unlike reality, must be believable. Reality is under no such obligation.

      Clearly the solution to the childhood obesity problem is to just stop feeding them!
