Good analysis, Kevin. When we were in diaper mode years ago it was strictly the environmental issue along with both of us working that made us go back and forth between cloth diapers and disposables. I've certainly thought about the economic issues involved with child-care for low-income families, but never really considered all of the implications of "the diaper gap." thanks for the education.
Thanks, Don! I think this really boils down to an awareness issue. I did a lot of learning myself. Let's hope a legislator gives this a read and runs with it.

Who knew?! Thanks, Kevin. I'm going to add this to my lengthening list of "small ideas" that are often overlooked in our fascination with "big ideas."
All of us that grew up in the 50’s and 60’s used diapers that were reusable. Isn’t that the bigger issue.
