The Rubio-Trump Plan Clearly Penalizes Parents
Click here to read.
Bruenig argues that the Rubio-Trump paid leave plan clearly penalizes parents by requiring them to forego 5.4 weeks of pay and 6 weeks of retirement for every child they have. But, as in his Feb 1 post on the same topic, Bruenig also concludes that the plan may be worth supporting because it grants a new paid leave benefit in exchange for pension cuts that do not take place for 25 years. Democrats should be able to undo those pension cuts before they ever materialize.
