This happens so much. Look at GOP policy. Religiosity, corporate dick-sucking, or spite, often overrides logical, cost-effective choices (well, at least the cost-effective choices for the American people. I'm sure their individual pockets are fine.).

Examples: subsidizing abortion vs. supporting another child in poverty, UBI vs. the admin and labor costs of running individual benefit programs, etc.
