GOVERNMENT NOW ADDS DIAPERS AS SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO GET FOR FREE; CRAZY DEMOCRAT BLUMENTHAL PROPOSES MORE GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS!

Senate Democrat, newly elected moron, seeks federal funding for diapers.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), creepy guy if you remember his problems, even looks like the other pervert, Spitzer, introduced legislation that would allow federal block grants that states now use to subsidize child-care services to also allow for the purchase of diapers and "diapering supplies."

The bill, S. 1778, would amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to allow diapers and related supplies to be bought with grant money provided to states. Under current law, the money is meant to subsidize child-care services to parents who are entering the labor force or are in job training and education programs. It also helps subsidize child-care services for certain eligible families.

Under the law, 4 percent of all funds must be used to improve the quality of child-care. A summary of Blumenthal's bill indicates that it would allow the purchase of diapers under this provision, as it would "include the provision of diapers and diapering supplies among the activities for which funds may be employed to improve the quality of and access to child care."

The federal program, called the Child Care and Development Fund, received $5 billion in fiscal 2011, which it distributed to all 50 states, the District of Columbia and scores of tribal governments. The program now helps to provide for an estimated 1.8 million children each month.

The program also received an extra $2 billion under the 2009 stimulus bill.

Where does the Constitution give the authority to buy diapers!!!BY Ron

If these liberal loons had to spend their own money, they wouldn't propose stupid legislation like this.

THE PROBLEM is that they are spending other people's money and there is no motivation whatsoever for them to curb their out of control spending.

They are BUYING VOTES with the tax dollars confiscated from a rapidly diminishing work force.BY RealityBites

We can call it "The Diapers for Anchor Babies Act of 2011".

There was a time when people could support their own breed. And disposable diapers are expensive because they are luxuries. If you can't afford disposable diapers then buy a wash tub and some soap, and move to cloth diapers.BY JoeTheFilmmaker

Every cent they spend is BORROWED MONEY! Stop coming up with new ways to blow money! Better yet, stop trying to buy votes with other peoples money. We can't take it anymore. God help all of you next November. Time to update ur resumes. BY FedUp

The nanny state is already destroying us. More and more people receive handouts from the government and think that is the primary role of the state. The ones who don't currently get the handouts are figuring out ways to cash in on the 'free money'. We have a dependent class that is growing and generational. Try and push independence and self reliant with these slugs and see where it gets you. 47% of the people pay NO federal income taxes. The Chinese will simply buy us as we disarm so we can increase the number who receive entitlement checks. BY Perplexed

I guess liquor stores will now be selling diapers.BY Joe
Good.. gives me more money for my cell phone plan , booze and hair care products.. BY gram
