The "Nanny State" is now literal

I can't believe stuff like this is really, truly happening in this country -

Can't afford diapers for your kids? Not to worry. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) is riding to the rescue.

Senate Bill (SB) 1778 authorizes states to use federal block grant money to provide diapers for parents who have their children in federally funded daycare.

But wait, there's more! Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut) is taking care of business on the House side by introducing the - this is serious now - DIAPER Act, or the Diaper Investment and Aid to Promote Economic Recovery Act. Seriously.

Bottom line: These statist northeast Congresscritters from the Democrat Party are trying to use our tax dollars to give free diapers to poor people who are squeezing out kids they cannot afford in the first place.

Hear that sound? That's the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never was, and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

I wonder if there were not all the tits offered would the breeding be curtailed. Welfare encourages more babies, the more kids the more benefits.
