These political non-profits must have their tax exempt status removed.

Time for old school. With the illegal alien invasion, our landfill are getting loaded down with shiddy diapers. Give them cloth diapers and tell them to wash and reuse them. Help save da enviomeen.

Not there. Tennessee does till 2. But is due to the inflated economy. Go back to cloth reusable diapers.

Breakfast lunch and dinner at school, free tampons, free disposable baby diapers, subsidized day care, mandatory employer day care, WIC.

Whose vote is the left trying to buy as they erase individualism and the nuclear family while creating a voter base and future generations who see government generosity as the entity that fills the space husbands and fathers used to fill.

::How can they afford kids?::

You surely can’t expect them to think that far ahead, can you?

If they do cover the cost of diapers. It should only cover the cost of cloth reusable diapers. Not those paper landfill fillers. People also leave them on hiking trails along with their discarded masks.

"Not there."

You are correct - I couldn't find anything about diapers in there.

Although, word has it that US taxpayers have been providing Joe Biden with them for at least four years....

My mother washed diapers and then she hung them on a line because we didn’t have a clothes dryer.

My father was a lieutenant in the Marine Corps at the time. We didn’t have any money to burn

I double damn guarantee you that there is a money Trail here which explains this proposal

You didn’t look closely enough. It’s one of those pesky penumbras SCOTUS loves so much, lurking and moving to avoid detection without the official Secret Penumbra Decoder.
