AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH THE TUCKER CARLSON HYPOCRACY.
Carlson is spending a week in Hungary slavishly praising fascist leader Orban and Hungarian government policies that allegedly protect the nation and its families from “wokeness.”
I don’t expect that Carlson will mention — let alone praise — two Hungarian government programs that actually do protect Hungarian families. These programs are actually present in every OECD country except the United States:
- Universal, government-funded health insurance Like America’s neighbours to the north, and most of Europe and Australia, NZ, Japan, Singapore, Saudi, Emirates, Israel Hungary provides all citizens with health care. It is delivered as a universal public service, like k-12 education and roads
- Universal paid maternity leave: the mother gets leave starting a month before birth. One parent can then take six months paid leave (70% of normal salary) and the other gets a week paid leave at time of birth.
C’MON TUCKER — IF YOU’RE GOING TO TELL FOX NATION ABOUT ALL THE “GOOD THINGS” IN HUNGARY, ALSO TELL THEM THAT — BY AMERICAN STANDARDS — HUNGARY HAS A “SOCIALIST” GOVERNMENT THAT PROVIDES FAMILIES WITH UNIVERSAL, TAXPAYER-FUNDED HEATH INSURANCE AND PROVIDES FOR PAID MAT LEAVE FOR STAYING HOME TO TAKE CARE OF A NEWBORN.
Kos readers — if you have any Trumpy relatives who start repeating Carlson’s praise of Hungary, please throw this in their face.
