Doesn't surprise me. Not sure what stereotypical Republican you have in your mind, but I'd assume it's the kids that hate government assistance like food stamps.

They hate government programs that promote lifelong government assistance and discourage work for those they think shouldn't need it.

This government program is literally the opposite long term goal: it encourages work, and hopes to reduce government assistance after this one-time program is finished.
