Because the government is your family, and they should support you when you aren't working.


. This law would create a paid family and medical leave insurance program to enable workers to take time away from work to recover from serious illness, care for a sick loved one, or bond with a new child. Businesses are on board because it would enable them to support their valued employees without having to bear the full costs of offering paid leave. The program, which would be funded by small contributions from employers and employees, would allow workers to take up to 12 weeks of partially paid leave.

It's ok, only business would have to pay. So it's free!


If I understand this right, not only are we going to keep paying people who don't have jobs to not work, we are now going to pay people that do have jobs to not work.

Yay!

why limit it to 12 weeks? if 12 is good, 24 must be better, right?

Seems like it should be called the Undocumented Sterile Orphan Full Employment Act.

Voluntary as long as you agree to pay them otherwise it's not a penalty it's a tax.
