"We have come together today because we have a historic chance to pass paid family leave and childcare reform so that every American family has the freedom to embrace the dignity of work and the joy of raising a family," Ivanka Trump said during her opening remarks. "Our vision is to give each parent the resources and support they need to make the best choice for their families."
family paid leave是民主党一直支持的，反而不一定会在gop里通过，保守派不喜欢这个idea。 西风凉 发表于 12/12/2019 4:48:56 PM
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/473971-republicans-push-back-on-expanding-paid-family-leave-beyond-federal GOP lawmakers on Tuesday pushed back on a proposal that would create a national paid family and medical leave program, signaling Republicans aren’t willing to go beyond paid leave for federal workers in a massive defense policy bill. Congress and the White House recently struck a deal that would give federal workers 12 weeks of paid parental leave in exchange for creating President Trump’s Space Force. Some Republicans said Tuesday they are worried about the costs associated with creating a national paid family and medical leave program.
“We hear a lot of support about the support of the national paid family leave and medical -- and I get that it sounds wonderful -- but at the end of the day there’s nothing free and at some point this has an enormous cost associated with it,” Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) said at a House Oversight Committee hearing on parental leave. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), the chair of the committee, praised the inclusion of her bill, the Federal Employee Paid Leave Act, in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that’s awaiting a final vote in Congress. “Providing this benefit is a significant investment in our future – the future of children, parents, families and our future as a nation,” she said at the hearing. “Paid leave yields better outcomes for productivity, health of parents and children, and long-term financial stability. It also contributes to closing the gender wage gap.” Some Democrats are attempting to use the momentum from the NDAA deal to broaden paid family medical leave beyond government employees. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), who re-introduced the Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act this year, gave testimony at the hearing, where she argued that broadening paid family and medical leave would help “elevate” middle- and working-class Americans. “I am so glad that my colleagues on the other side support this in some form,” DeLauro said, referring to the defense policy bill. She said Congress should provide leave benefits “not only for Senate staffers for House staffers and not only for members of Congress but for everyone in this country to provide them economic security.”

haha of course. anything Trump promotes is de facto bad.
FMLA是12周没有工资。我们这里是有STD的话，顺产6周剖腹产8周拿2/3的工资。
我也用不上了，也强烈支持!
哈哈，就是！女权，人权，这些东西，只能留给左派来搞。川普跟他那一帮子凭啥搞这些！
为啥要反对，这是common sense。美国右派也是是推崇家庭价值观的，联邦政府给working mom 这个benefit没什么毛病。人家不加税一样能解决这个问题，不像民主党给点福利就狠命加税。川普就是中间派，从一开始才有人支持他。民主党想夺权，先从极左回到中间再说。
大势所趋。比climate change bill强多了。

右派推崇家庭价值观，但不是common sense的家庭价值观，前一阵子ohio州的gop想要立法把宫外孕的胚胎重新植回子宫，无法想象吧。这个帖子后面已经有人贴新闻，gop有议员跳出来反对了。川普或者伊万卡想搞这个，先把他们的gop搞定再说吧。
一周最高一千， 给minimum wage 的，还是不让中产生娃。
对啊，希望孩子们成年以后有了家庭，不必像我们这样，面对家庭和工作难以平衡的问题 。
