Pampering the poor? Literally?
I guess it’s something in the vein of food stamps and other such aid, but it sounds like the mountains are in labor and giving birth to a ridiculous mouse. Why not at least keep it to a state level?
“US Government diapers... free... we crap on you people all of the time so have your kids crap in these on us”.

This is really silly. The same effect can be had a lot more simply by just modifying the food stamp list to include diaper products. DONE.
FYI, I do not condone food stamps. Food stamp fraud, which I hear about at least once a month, cost us taxpayers millions (billions?) of dollars per year. In the simplest scenario, the fraudster goes to the grocery and loads up on high dollar items (steaks, etc.), pays for the goodies with food stamps and then sells the goodies for 70-80 cents on the dollar.
So will the “Adult Baby” be eligible for free diapers now?
Curses! You beat me to the adult baby reference!
Too slow on the draw I am!
I guess I’m not understanding this right. What do these babies wear at home if their mothers can’t afford diapers?
She is my Congresswoman, and beleive you me she is a genuine fruit-cake - with Mafia ties to boot.
Well, the thing of it is that the mothers can afford diapers. And if we start giving them diapers free of charge, that will free up the money that they were formerly spending on diapers for other things, like cigarettes, booze and dope.

Perhaps the most guilty photo in the history of FR.
Way beyond Helen Thomas.
I am SOOOOOOOOOO sick of the corrupto-nannies I could vomit! It will ALMOST be a blessing when the system collapses if any part of it falls on these SOBs.
And, as we say in Oz, as ugly as a hat full of A-Holes.
Looking at the “Adult Baby” and his girth, I’ll wager he has to make his own cloth diapers.
Did the NatGeo special that started this whole thing ever actually state that he “made” in them or just wore them? I can’t imagine anyone pooping themselves on purpose, it’s just to uncomfortable (not that I remember, mind you).
This bespeaks a lack of vision. Rosa DeLauro could win much more support over diapers if she introduced a ban on disposable nappys.
Think about it in buggy whip terms. Hardly a man is now alive, but once, when the buffalo roamed the prairie and there were only four TV channels and only rich people owned microwaves Diaper Services employed tens of thousands of working stiffs who would drive trucks out to one’s house on a weekly basis and take away the hamper with the dirty cloth diapers and replace them with clean ones. The soiled ones would be laundered in huge facilities.
If disposable diapers were banned think of all the jobs that would be created, hell, they could even be qualified as “green” jobs.
By the way, I’m sure Ms. DeLauro (she’s MARRIED?!? To a man?!?) could scare up quite a few votes form her colleagues if she promises to wear a diaper over her face for the rest of her congressional career.
PIng! Pong!
I thought this bill was ludicrous until I read this:
“Free diapers for every mother who has a kid in daycare. If you’re a stay-at-home mother or unemployed you and don’t use daycare you don’t get free diapers.”
Then I realized it was a deplorable program designed to get more children into indoctrination daycare.
God help us.
