Bipartisan group of senators want $200 million in diaper assistance in next coronavirus rescue bill
William Cummings
USA TODAY

A bipartisan group of senators on Monday called for the next coronavirus rescue package to include $200 million in diaper assistance as families contend with shortages and increased demand amid layoffs and lost income.

Sens. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., called for the diaper relief in a joint letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Charles Schumer. They were joined by Sens. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., Bob Casey, D-Pa., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C.

"COVID-19 has forced working families into dire circumstances. Even as parents face layoffs and unprecedented unemployment numbers, recent reporting has shown a run on diapers from stockpiling and supply chain issues leaving families unsure if they will be able to access diapers for their children," the senators wrote.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

They're at home. let em wash out cloth diapers... We only used disposable diapers 'on the road' from the diaper bag... For the convenience, and mostly for bulk reduction.

Cloth diapers are fine, cheap, and probably better for the baby.
