America is behind virtually every other nation in this regard. @SenGillibrand is truly working to #MAGA with a bill like this!

So, Russia has better Family Leave laws than US? Sad.

Some of the best in the World, along with China. Very sad.

I'd love to see Democrats advocate for a childcare subsidy all parents as well, on the model of Germany's kindergeld.
-
Low income and high income families almost get the same amount. It's not efficient at all! Invest that money in free education and care.
-
Not mutually exclusive. But we have nothing to subsidize middle class childcare in US, and in states like mine it costs more than rent.
-
There are at least some childcare programs for low income, though I'd like to see those expanded. There's no subsidy for at home caregivers
-
The kindergeld system is very outdated. Someone who makes 10K/month almost gets the same amount as someone who makes 1K/month.
-
Sure. I didn't literally mean "let's do kindergeld." But we have NOTHING in the US. It's just an example of a place to start, that's all.
-
Fair enough. When it comes to public care the US seems to be behind a decade or two so you got to start somewhere, best of luck!
-
Way more than a decade or two! We don't have any child benefit at all, and our childcare is wildly expensive. Literally more than rent.

I benefited twice from California's paid family leave and thank goodness! My family would not be here today if not for this humane program.

Absolutely. You democrats love spending other people's money. We should just pay people that don't work at all n solve all the problems
-
obviously you know nothing about the bill. It's an employee paid-in and employer match contribution.
