You’re a pretty gal Ivanka — but get your hands out of my pockets!
Ivanka - is she a closet Socialist??? Sure sound like it....
Very Ted Kennedy. “Let’s simply require ...” private businesses to do what we think they should, regardless of the consequences.
It actually unintentionally works out. GOP-E has no interest in such a law, and if anyone named Trump is for it, the Dems are against it ... one fewer issue for them to demagogue.
Will somebody please banish that out-of-touch, liberal Manhattan Democrat from the White House!?!
Yeah, that would be nice. And employers should feel free to include that as a benefit of working for them.
I cannot stand this woman
Major negative factor in the administration
Go home Ivanka
Take about 10 years of maternity leave
Pics, damnit, pics!
A case study in uniting Democrats and Republicans
Oh, really? Who said that? Some Socialists? You plan your family and your lives on the finances you have. Many of us sacrificed, without creating a burden for our employers. Family paid leave is a far Left thing that will bankrupt small businesses......this WILL NOT unite the two Partys in this country. Ivanka, you are barking up the wrong tree here!
Why do people get extra benefits for their life choices that are not available to others?
“””””””The last major policy change came in 1993, when the Family and Medical Leave Act passed with bipartisan support, guarantees more than half of American workers 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave”””””””
My wife has used the FMLA plenty this past year because our son spent months in the hospital. My sons fiance cannot use it because they are not married. That surprised me. I can see first hand why the act is a good thing but I am not in favor of it being paid leave unless the company does it voluntarily.
You aren’t President, you hot babe you!
“Studies show that paid leave can reduce infant mortality, increase breastfeeding rates, can improve maternal mental health and strengthen the connection between fathers and babies.”
EMPIRICAL evidence shows that when the mommy stays home to raise the kids (instead some paid stranger) and daddy brings home the bacon, it yields even better results than your ‘study’.
Nice try, but we’re in the process of making America great again, not socialist again.
Ivanka, sit down and shut up. I did not vote for you.
I am a fan of paid family leave - as a choice of the employer. For government to take the private property of the employer for this purpose and compel a free person to expend his wealth in that manner is an immoral and unconscionable overreach.
PFL is ridiculous. And those that take advantage of it often look forward to returning to work to escape the demanding newborn.
On the upside, it may encourage professionals to have more kids which helps the genepool and future tax revenue.
Regardless, this shouldn’t be a federal issue.
