""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,” Trump wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed."

So what is the time limit and what is the benefit cap?

"Healthier children and parents in more tightly bonded families, greater financial stability and stronger attachment to the labor force are among the most important."

Exactly how does this mandate make for healthier children, and how does it bond families when so many have fathers that just walk away?

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

And so the smallest to the largest employer has to pay for them? Have those "poor" ever heard of family baby-sitters?

"The policy ... 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."

I'm simply amazed that someone who ran The Apprentice with all the tasks assigned to the contestants doesn't realize that SMALL business employs the majority of jobs. Those States that implemented such double pay (leave&temps) on small employers have either left that State or shut their doors. Again, aghast that of all women, she would think this could work without job loss.

Ivanka, you will never get rid of hiring biases. It's how a free market society works from experience construction workers to strippers. Personally, if I still had a company, I wouldn't hire anyone with a liberal arts degree in Women, Black, Minority, or other basket-weaving useless degrees. You are not the woman I thought you were. Go away.
