The DeLauro DIAPER Act

[red states rule]

Libs never cease to amaze me with their insane big government (and expensive) ideas





An economic recovery bill authored by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D.-Conn.) seeks to empower struggling families by directing the federal government to distribute free diapers through day care centers.

The Diaper Investment and Aid to Promote Economic Recovery Act (DIAPER Act) would “relieve some of the stress on families facing hardship in this economy” by providing this direct service, DeLauro said in a letter to congressional colleagues urging them to co-sponsor her bill.

Without diapers, children are not allowed to attend day care, said DeLauro, who described those in need as a “lost generation of Americans.”

“In fact, over one in five mothers have had to skip an obligation and stay home with their child because of lack of diapers,” DeLauro said. “And losing out on day care makes it even harder for parents to put in a full day’s work.”

“We all believe that nothing we do in government is as important as ensuring the next generation has the tools they need to thrive. But for our children and our nation to succeed, we have to support their development, their families, and the public policies that ensure opportunity. Ensuring that low-income families have access to diapers through the DIAPER Act is one of those policies that will make a difference, and I urge you to become an original co-sponsor,” DeLauro wrote in the Oct. 5 letter.

Critics of the bill say it exemplifies the type of cradle-to-grave, nanny-state legislation supported by Democrat lawmakers that the government can’t afford.

“This is a literal push for the nanny state,” said Robert Gordon, senior adviser for strategic outreach at The Heritage Foundation. “With no regard for the Constitution and regardless of our deficit and debt, there’s no issue too local or too small for liberals to find a role for the federal government.”

If it makes the Concerned Women for America and the Heritage Foundation upset then it is probably a wise idea. Unfortunately, I don't think that diapers is going to help resolve the matter. It is a rather small dose of helpfulness.

It is a completely stupid idea which will need to be followed up with the Q-TIP Act, the DESITIN Protection Act... would you care to tell me the logical place the newly created bureaucracy would most likely stop?

There wouldn't be any new bureaucracy. It would simply be added into that which is already in existence.

Well that just makes it better then. So there wouldn't be a new Office of Diaper Distribution with a Director, a Congressional Liaison, a warehouse to house the Government Diapers, an Officer of Diaper Standards... I'm sure YOU can tell me coherently where it would stop. :rolleyes:

It would be allocated in any funding that they already receive. Really, really. As I already stated, this does not go far enough. I can file this away in the "least that can be done" section. :rolleyes:

Yes. Indeed. If you have someone that says the least that we can do is to provide diapers then that should be the first recognition that they have no intention of providing all of the necessities of life.

Don't understand the nature of government and politicians do you? Do you REALLY think DeLauro has zero intention of expanding government provided necessities of life beyond diapers?

Free???? Do people really believe the diapers just materialize out of thin air and that no money (tax money) was expended by anyone when those diapers appear in the day care centers?

Why don't they use cloth diapers that they can take home every day and wash and bring back the next day with the baby...a one time investment and some extra work at the end of the day or week, but not the government's (read "me") responsibility to provide diapers.

The least we can do? Giving out condoms so people quit having babies was the "least we could do" and that didn't work so now we are obligating ourselves to give out diapers??? Where does it stop? Are we going to provide free braces so the kids don't grow up with diminished self-esteem issues?

I, for one, hopes so. The health and self esteem of the American population are national security issues. And especially so for the poor and underprivileged amongst us.

I think that the good health and self esteem of the American population in general is indeed a national security issue. Absolutely. But, I never said a single thing about giving away as in "free". Nothing is free but the nation owes it to itself and for itself to ascertain the good health and happiness of it's population at large. I was raised to believe that and at age 61 I still believe that. This is the America that I grew up with.

I believe means testing might be in order in your example but you must understand that I am in complete favor of universal healthcare including dental and I think that would solve the problems well enough for the vast majority of the American population and they would be supportive and grateful for it. It's about time we as Americans stepped up to the plate and become world leaders in the general health and well being of our population.

You support the bill; so how are we going to pay for it when we are running trillion dollar plus deficits every year.

In fact under Obama, next week out national debt will surpass the nations GDP. Another record set by the hope and change kid

If the economy grows PB, these people will then be able to find jobs. They will then be making money, and they can then buy their own diapers

But people like you never think like that. You want the government to "take care of them" and you are giving new meaning to pampering the voters

This country has always had extremely rich people and extremely poor people, rsr, and that is not likely to change regardless of the tax plans by either political party. Even if the taxes were to return to in excess of 90% for some of the rich folks during republican administrations, they would remain here in the land of plenty, for them.

Insofar as the desperately poor are concerned, they sure as hell aren't going anywhere. Think about that, rsr. It places your thought processes in diametrically opposed considerations, doesn't it?

If they confiscated 100% of everything those who make $30,000,000 or more have, it wouldn't fund this government's budget for more than a couple months. We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. And before you try to deny it, ask yourself how many diapers could have been provided if the Obama admin hadn't pissed away $538,000,000 in the Solyndra fiasco. They sit up there playing fast and loose with our money and then after blowing through it all and more, insist WE need to hand over more.

Yes, when you target a population and the money will probably be allocated through funding the potential for fraud is certainly there. It fails to address the real needs and, therefore, is the least that can be done.
And actually, the correct thing to do is to remove funding through abstinence only programs and do a verbal smack down on every individual up for election that spews a woman's place is in the home birthin' babies. Wrong message to be sending. Every time someone starts spewing on about the morning after pill or losing the right to choose or numerous other things they need a verbal smack down.

It would be smart to fund those organizations that are willing to pay drug addicts for going through sterilization. Men and women. It is time that we also focus on men. Fatherhood is NOT the number of children that are born (Howard Veal) but rather the ongoing parental relationship with any child. We should equally fund paternity tests so that they aren't taken advantage of. We should not celebrate the Duggars or any large family and hold that up as our ideal. It is nice that they can afford 19 children.

Lastly, I ask, why is it that one can pay insurance on a monthly basis and go to the dentist and still pay $5,000 dollars for braces?
