The US is one of only 7 countries without maternity leave. Manchin says he can't "put the burden on his grandchildren" of expanding social programs without paying for them first. We have an idea, Senator! Cut the military budget! Stop the corporate subsidies! Tax the ultra rich!!

The media would have us think everyone in the world has 100% paid maternity leave when that simply is not true. If paid leave does not happen, blame the progressives in the Democrat party that are repeatedly trying to take the all or nothing approach. worldpopulationreview.com/co…
In the US, parents and family are federally protected under the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to go on maternity or family leave after the adoption or birth of a child.

I think we should have maternity & paternity leave because that is really good for children at the stage to have a sense of family imprinted & it helps to have two people tending to all the work. I also think everyone should have 2 months paid vacation per year.

His grandchildren will probably never have to work or pay taxes by the time he’s done grifting in DC.
