Could Diaper-Less Moms Use $8 Million?

Just the News is a credible source of news, unlike the failing Gannett chain of Little Pravdas.

So when Just the News follows up on Bill Proxmire's "Golden Fleece" series, you are in for a treat.

Instead of spending $8 million on procuring diapers for desperate moms,......

...This week's Golden Horseshoe is awarded to the Department of Health and Human Services for an $8 million grant to evaluate whether certain organizations are capable of distributing diapers consistently to low-income families.

The purpose of the Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Program is "to evaluate the ability of [community action agencies (CAA)], social services agencies, and other non-profit community organizations to provide diapers and diapering supplies on a consistent basis through diaper distribution programs while also offering support services for families with low incomes," explains the grant synopsis....

And the best part?

... While the $8 million is for a pilot program, it appears low-income families are already receiving free diapers, as the synopsis details how diaper distribution is to be expanded....

Shouldn't be too hard for Trump to find budgets to cut beginning in early '25, should it?
