“The government provides assistance to help with families who can’t afford the high prices of formula and other food for children, via programs like WIC (Women and Children) or foodstamps,” I wrote in 2010. ”But for unavoidable necessities like diapers, parents, most often mothers, still require cash to be able to pay for them. And to have that cash, they must find someplace else to cut corners.”


What a bunch of shite.

I'll give them a bunch of cloth diapers. They'll probably turn them down because they'll have to wash and reuse them instead of just throwing them away. Simple, cheap and effective...and probably racist somehow.

With choices, comes responsibilities. You had a baby, it's your job to make sure they get what they need. Somehow I'll end up paying for it in the end.

Why can't people understand that the former is caused by the latter?

When you subsidize something, you shift out demand which causes quantity and price to increase.

Women who can't afford their kids are victims.

Men who can't afford their child support are deadbeats.

I have long believed that the left in this country is very troubled by the idea that goods cost money. You see that belief in every single policy initiative of theirs. They think prices should be abolished in the child care field. They think prices should be abolished in the healthcare field.

We got really nice cloth diapers for our kids. Saved tons. People think it is dirty, but they actually were much cleaner and prevented their cloths from getting wet etc. Plus, my wife liked them because of all the fancy colors and prints she got..

Once again you contribute nothing to the conversation besides overreacting like a 14 year old girl. GTFO

I'm going to start calling you StrawmanTUba.

Is it your assertion that the market price for diapers is too expensive for poor mothers? If so, that is an absolutely laughable statement.

They are no longer called "poor".

They are now called "financially challenged".
