The military already had 12 weeks of paid family leave. The Secretary of the Navy actually raised that to 16 weeks for the Navy in 2016, but SecDef cut the program back to 12 weeks to being the Navy in line with the other services.

As a small service business owner with five employees, I can confidently say I would not be able to afford this. I'm sure I could work something out to provide flexibility (work at home for example) but don't have the revenue to support 12 weeks paid leave.

My question is how can we afford this for the private sector would not be able to sustain this?? Stop spending and fix healthcare. Ivanka and her husband are Democrats. If you live in NJ you would not be thrilled with her husband!!!

Meh, I support paid family leave as a general concept, just wish it wasn't exclusively for federal employees. Govt employee jobs are already cushion-y enough, at our expense. Seems doubtful private sector will follow this lead

Private sector can't afford this. Public sector will not either when the currency printing press breaks.
