"Providing a national guaranteed paid-leave program — with a reasonable time limit and benefit cap — isn’t an entitlement, it’s an investment in America’s working families,”

Hey ditz, show me where in the Constitution the power to enact such ObamaCare programs is given to the Federal Government.

But she argued that such programs are not reaching "the poorest, most vulnerable workers in our society ..."

Kids flipping burgers don't need family leave, they need to leave the family basement first.

“The policy outlined in the administration’s recent budget proposal emphasizes the need for mothers and fathers to have access to paid leave to encourage both parents to share parenting responsibilities and to strive toward minimizing hiring biases,” she writes.

Almost all employers offer some form of family leave, it just isn't paid. Why should other workers foot the bill for someone else's kids? You want kids? Save some money FIRST.

It’s also the workload for those that are NOT on family leave,

In my office they seemed to have their babies in the summer,therefore limiting the weeks the rest of us could take for vacation.

VERY annoying.

Some other things are close and yet more workable in many cases, such as telecommute in IT positions. Don’t offshore; rather, offcampus to Americans.

A bad idea may be close to a much better one.
