Ivanka's maternity leave plan is a joke by Zach
I think it sucks, too. It doesn't go nearly far enough. It doesn't get rid of any depts. I think a good start would be abolishing EPA, Dept of Educ and HHS.

How about all of HUD.

It's laughable, people think someone else should pay for them spitting out children, and support them while they do it. Almost all companies give vacation leave and sick leave. If you want to reproduce, save your time and use it. If you can't afford to, don't have children. It's all so simple, yet it requires individual responsibility.

As someone who wants less gov and not more, actually a pretty good argument for this. Childcare is so fricking expensive, that many mothers who want to work, don't because their pay would basically go to the cost of childcare. Doing this would put millions of women back to work and that will have a significant impact on GDP and with compound GDP over time, easily pays for the write offs

To deal with poors problem, I propose a system whereby they fight each other to the death in single combat, the winner then eating the loser. We can quickly create a race of cannibalistic super warriors who will fight for our entertainment. What could possibly go wrong?

If you approach this, or anything, as a one dimensional issue, then you can make it look better than the shite sandwich that it is.
Hilarious that Ivanka, who has never known anything but untold wealth, thinks she knows who should get leave, when they should get it, and who should pay for it.
What a wretched bitch.

The only way I see paid leave being somewhat viable is to make it a company tax write off if the company pays for it

maternity leave
such crap and I'm amazed at the intelligent people that think this is a good idea.
Who is maternity leave good for? Working people right? Who pays the taxes that will support extended maternity leave? Working people.
So why don't we just cut out the middle man and let people spend their own money on their own leave. But that would involve not involving government and people can't wrap their heads around that.

What good is the paid leave if you can’t afford to feed yourself, take your baby to the doctor, pay your hospital bills, or get access to quality pre- or post-natal care?
Then don't have fricking kids!!!!

Even better idea:
Let the DemProgtarded newborns be cared for by all those peaceful mooselimbs and antifa hispanics they want to open the borders for.
Think long term how conservative the social pendulum will swing with LibProtards kids all in the hands of mooselimbs and antifa, and in only 1 generation at that!

Best part of the article.

Theoretically, Trump’s leave plan could help someone like Regina Mays, who took six weeks of unpaid leave from her job that pays her about $10 an hour at a Walmart in High Point, North Carolina, after she had a baby girl last year
With no money coming in, she struggled to feed herself and her four other children at home. “There was time when I paid the bills and I literally didn’t have money for food,” Mays told HuffPost recently. A relative came by with groceries for her and her kids so they didn’t go hungry.
There was at least one thing Mays said she didn’t have to worry about: paying her hospital or doctor bills, which were covered by Medicaid.
Trump’s budget would rip that rug out from under mothers like Mays who theoretically would get about $1,800 for her six weeks at home, but without healthcare would also be on the hook for potentially tens of the thousands of dollars in medical bills.

So she already had 3 kids (that she likely struggled to support) and decided to have a fourth? She is either consciously making the decision to keep having children or she's being blatantly irresponsible by not using birth control. In either case, she is making poor decisions and expecting the taxpayer to cover for her.
People yammer on and on about rights, but what no one ever talks about, is people's delusional notion that they have a right to be free from consequences of their choices.

Why should employers be forced to pay someone to have a baby?
If you want to have a baby, that's your business.
You aren't entitled to free money and free vacation. It's not your employer's responsibility to subsidize your decision to have children.

because that last babies worth an extra $250.00 in SNAP benefits which would already be based on her income and number of dependents around $750.00 per month.
one more baby equals a cool grand a month.
by the way she gets another 6 grand a year from the EIC
and qualifies for the additional child tax credit which allows her to take her child tax credits over and above any tax liability she might have so that's another 4 grand.
$10.00 an hour 30 hours a week that's $1200.00 per month plus another grand a month from SNAP plus 10k a year in tax credits.
roughly 36k per year 3k per month....................merica!
