The left's proposed diaper law: No behind, left behind

In yet another step down the one way chute of nanny statism, a "courageous progressive lawmaker," Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro from Connecticut, has boldly found yet another unique way to spend other peoples money. It seems liberalism's never ending quest of avoiding responsibility for ones responsibilities, has now brought us to the brink of having a federal diaper law. The proposed law will provide disposable diapers and accessories to "needy families."

This odoriferous law, is a reflection of the mentality portrayed in television programs like "16 and pregnant," where it is actually socially acceptable and a "choice" to get pregnant out of wedlock.

The Father is being written out of the script and substituted with a daddy: Big Daddy government.

The third world, "takes a village" to raise a child syndrome, is bringing us generations of children dependent on government programs. These programs originally designed to be temporary stop gap measures by helping those who are in a bind, have become permanent ways of life for millions.

They raise children on a false premise that government policies are best and will take care of them, they are not raised to be self reliant. Some of that mentality and disappointment is reflected at Occupy Wall Street. Many down there are disillusioned with what they were promised and what was delivered. This sort of disappointment is not supposed to happen in America, where everyone gets a trophy for participation and no one loses. Where playgrounds have become "risk free" Nanny staters have made playgrounds too safe.

Ironically before she became a member of Congress, Rep. DeLauro was chief of staff to Senator Chris Dodd, one of the main players in bringing us the sub prime mortgage meltdown. Another example of a good intentioned law that turned out to have disastrous consequences for the country. Not that a diaper law would have have the monumental effect on our country that a sub prime mortgage law would, but it is symptomatic of an underlying mentality.

It seems the progessive movement in America is on a headlong rush to model itself after the rest of the worlds failed socialist/cradle to grave nanny states which are toppling into fiscal bankruptcy. Of course the United States is 15 trillion in debt, it's credit rating lowered and would be technically bankrupt, except we have printing presses working overtime to fund our out of control spending.

If America is going to continue on as a going concern, perhaps it is time for people to pay for the disposable diapers their own children use and not rely on the rest of the village to pay for them. Come to think of it, what is wrong with cloth diapers?

don't worry when socialism takes over, the funds will be made available to teach people how to read again instead of wasting it on bombs. America will have a public education system again and then you can get around to learning how to read some books.

Riiight...if it wasn't 4 America, you'd be speaking German or Japanese in a gulag somewhere. Love how U euro marxists can bark like little chihuahuas when you've never paid a dime for the protections America has given, so you could be vociferous little chihuahuas. Try acting that way in Communist china...then get back to us in 10 years...LOL!!!!

Here's another novel idea: how about stopping invading other countries and burdening the rest of the world with your weapons and war, might even have some money left over for more useful things then?!?

Here's a novel idea: How about having the amount of children you can afford to put diapers on without burdening the rest of the village?

I thought govts. main job was to protect it's citizens from a very hostile world, not provide diapers.

50% of the US budget is being spent on war, but sure, focus on diapers.

We might as well copy the soviet union manual for child rearing, let the state take the kids and raise them in government centers to make them all good little citizens. almost like that now with their little mush heads getting filled with idiocy from the teachers unions. They can't read or do math, but know how to [ut a condom on a cucumber and know man is the cause of global warming.

Your article is the typical right-wingnut rant. This ignorant stuff you guys crank out like Morlock whips in the film "The Time Machine," inspires fellow geniuses, like the alleged GA wing nut militia-types recently apprehended by FBI.

Well, Hillary Clinton famously said, "It takes a village" to raise a child. That's because it does take a village to do this once Progressive/Liberal policies have destroyed the FAMILY. One has only to look at the effects of these policies on Proletarian England or Black America to see the sort of rewards society (and the peoples themselves) reap for their adherence to Progressive approaches.
