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!!

How do other countries manage it and we can’t?

Quit enriching yourself at your grandchildren's expense is a bridge too far I suppose.

Manchin doesn’t need to worry about his grandkids. They will have most of his money—$5,000,000 since 2011 from the energy/coal company he started. We basically have no inheritance tax either

so he doesn't want his grandchildren to have their mother for the first several months of their life? how is that relieving a burden upon the babies?

He’s being dead honest. All three of those measures would directly impact Joe Manchin’s grandchildren’s portfolio earnings and tax liability.

Fick Manchin. I will be going from Florida to WV to ask people to vote against the elitist POS.
