The battle over the Democrats' proposed $3.5 trillion infrastructure plan is just beginning, but the House Ways and Means Committee has already started to outline measures that will be included in the package.
One measure that's in the panel's markup of the Build Back Better Act: 12 weeks of universal paid family and medical leave. It's a measure intended to guarantee workers with time off to raise newborn children or deal with a medical emergency.
"Later this week, the Ways and Means Committee will put an end to the idea that only some workers are worthy of 'perks' like paid leave, child care, and assistance in saving for retirement," Chairman Richard E. Neal, a Massachusetts representative, said in a statement.
The benefits would kick in 2023 on a sliding scale with lower-earning workers experiencing the largest bulk of their pay replaced. It would be paid out monthly.
Democrats are hashing out the $3.5 trillion spending plan, which they will approve over what's to be likely unanimous GOP opposition using a partisan process known as reconciliation.
Neal had introduced a plan to establish those benefits in April. Under Neal's plan, the typical worker would see two-thirds of wages replaced, with benefits based on workers' monthly average earnings.

This will utterly destroy what’s left of small businesses.

a 66% pay cut for the workers, replaced by benefits they may not use.
Can I use this on the days I’m just not feelin’ it?
That’s sorta like a med emergency.
Did you ever think you would read the following in your lifetime?
I’m going to move a country that has more freedoms than the USA, like Hungary or the Czech Republic...
These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled the latest assault on the USA
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.
The guy in Hungary in 1989 with a chance to go West that said, “I think I’ll wait it out, and build a small business” must have felt like Noah stopping off at his first trip to the hardware store....

I bet, and now he’s surrounded by a homogenous people, culture, and history.
Purposeful and willful destruction of America, as intended by the commie Left.
Lets say I’m planning to build a factory. And I can’t decide where. I’ve narrowed it down to the United States, Mexico, or China.
It’s articles like this that would make me cross the United States off the list.
“. . . 12 weeks of universal paid family and medical leave.”
I skimmed the article so I might have missed it, but is this 12 weeks a year? 12 weeks in a lifetime? 12 weeks per illness?
.....and a hatred for communism.
Been SELF-EMPLOYED since I wrote my first “construction” related contract...supplemented and got S.S. quarters in doing night crew supermarket work.....my not trusting a corporate world has and was shrewd even when I was scoffed at. Wait til’ 401k’s and all the other garbage get’s absconded.
Who pays for this? The govt(we the taxpayer)/employer or both?
Is this even for smaller 2 employee business or larger co’s, say 100+ employees??
That’s the plan.
I’m never going back to work.
Thanks to the dim’s magic money.
That and make Americans all but useless in the real world.
After the company I worked for made employees
take vacation time before using FEMA there
were fewer happy persons in the workplace.
Do wonder how this applies to FEMA?
