Ohio Governor Defies G.O.P. With Defense of Social Safety Net.

[elleng]

In his grand Statehouse office beneath a bust of Lincoln, Gov. John R. Kasich let loose on fellow Republicans in Washington.

“I’m concerned about the fact there seems to be a war on the poor,” he said, sitting at the head of a burnished table as members of his cabinet lingered after a meeting. “That if you’re poor, somehow you’re shiftless and lazy.”

“You know what?” he said. “The very people who complain ought to ask their grandparents if they worked at the W.P.A.”

2. Yup, me too.

If he's turned, I'll have to 'discuss' w my recently deceased husband, who knew kasich (and who was, himself, repug, but I think stopped voting for them in recent years. Lived in DC anyway.)
