This is a pretty classic example of GOP obstructionism working. Deny the government the necessary funds to run a program, watch as the program then falters, and you can then both (i) campaign on how the program is broken and government doesn't work and (ii) campaign against Democrats asking for more funding.
I love that we can't fund healthcare for poor people but we can allocate money for tanks that the Pentagon doesn't even want.
