Sorry about Reince, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, Sean Duffy and Glenn Grothman. We’re trying to send Russ back to start to make amends America.
With Russ I know I’m voting for someone who gives a shit about the balance I’m trying to strike between being a shift worker and a good parent.
Should the US join other developed countries and mandate paid Family Leave? A question at their debate tonight.
Sen. Johnson: Blah, Blah, Blah, government over reach, ISIS, private sector, Blah, Blah, Blah
Sen. Feingold: ...what people tell me is that they’re having a heck of a time making ends meet and making it work at work because of the failure of the economy to keep up with wages. So people want the minimum wage raised. But they also want Family Leave. Paid Family Leave. I believe it should be 12 weeks. There is no reason for us not to join the other countries in the world that do this. This is good not only for the family, for the child that is going to get more time with its parents. It is also good for the business because the business is saying we value you. We want you to have a good family life. It makes that person more likely to stay with that business. It really is a shame, with the families of this state that are making this request, that Senator Johnson will only go with a position that is oriented to the corporate view. This is the overwhelming view of the people of this state who support Paid and Family Medical Leave. It is a reasonable request not some kind of an extreme regulation. It is done in so many other countries and it certainly has not brought their economies down. It is time to join the modern world and respect what parenting is and what it means to be able to be able to bond with a child...
