[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with his core premise—- it’s much better , in most cases, for a child to be raised by parents/grandparents vs daycare. Universal daycare is what is eww in this discussion. [/quote]

So are you saying that the government should mandate that all employees get a 1 year sabbatical for childcare?  I’ve never seen that as a Republican proposal…[/quote]

Hot damn would be awesome! [/quote]

It would.  I've never seen Democrats make this proposal either...[/quote]

As much as I would like this kind of expansion, PAID family leave is so much more important for middle class and the working poor.

We don’t have that yet either.

Democrats DID propose paid family leave.  Do you know what happened?  Or who blocked this bill?

Can you guess?

[quote]This week, Democrats in Washington re-upped a push to create a national program to give every worker access to paid family and medical leave.

[b]"After 10 years fighting for paid leave, we are still the only industrialized nation without this essential program," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.[/b]

A law that lets workers take unpaid time off to take care of their loved ones or their own health — the Family and Medical Leave Act — recently reached its 30th anniversary.

Now, Gillibrand and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., are putting forward an updated version of the Family and Medical Insurance Leave, or FAMILY, Act, first introduced in Congress in 2013, which would provide for paid leave.

"Thirty years ago, we broke ground by enshrining the Family and Medical Leave Act into law, providing unpaid family and medical leave for working Americans," DeLauro said in a statement, referencing the law passed under President Bill Clinton.

"Let's break ground again by making it paid," DeLauro said.[/quote]
