I would argue that the prices that Steve Hilton is using in this post are not correct and it is worse then he is stating.

Using the $0.16 figure per diaper is Target's retail customers' price, which is not the wholesale price that Target is paying for the diapers.

The state should be able to buy from the manufacturer at Target's wholesale price. There is a possibility that there maybe volume discounts above Targets wholesale prices that would make the final pricing lower still for the State of California.   

Instead of the $0.50 price per diaper being only three times higher then the price the State of California could be paying at, it maybe four or five times higher then the price if the State of California would go direct to the manufacturer for the diapers and cut out the NGO's

But then the cronies wouldn't have six figure salaries and be able to give kickbacks.

Report: Newsom’s $20 Million Diaper Deal Reveals Sweetheart Relationships Using Taxpayer Dollars

They are just diapers. But they have landed California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) into messy accusations of corruption for dumping $20 million in taxpayer money into a nonprofit led by an executive who sits on the board of his wife’s organization.

The initiative called “Golden State Start,” which will provide free diapers to newborns in hospitals throughout the state, debuted ahead of Mother’s Day. It has been promoted as a partnership between the state and the Los Angeles-based Baby2Baby nonprofit.

However, the deal has resulted in scrutiny over how the organization was chosen and its “proximity to Newsom’s political and personal network,” the California Post reported late Saturday.

“If you take the number of diapers they’re planning to send out and the amount of money that he’s spending on it, it’s 50 cents for each one, which is like 100 times more expensive if you just bought them in Costco,” Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton told the Post.

He asked, “But where’s the money coming from? Us.”
