Not only does California’s new Gov. Gavin Newsom want to establish his state as a place of sanctuary for all– including illegal aliens. He also wants to stifle business and bankrupt his state.
According to this, he proposing 6 months of partially paid parental leave. For real.
Newly elected California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Thursday proposed what would be the most generous paid parental leave policy in the nation: six months of partially paid leave so parents or other family members can care for a newborn or newly adopted baby.
Right now, some California parents have access to a combined four months of leave at partial pay. Those who get less include adoptive parents, same-sex couples and single parents.
Question: Where do these people think they’re getting the money to do this? You can’t force this on small businesses.
The policy would roll out slowly. At a press conference unveiling the state’s $209 billion budget on Thursday, Newsom said that leave would be paid for mainly with existing funds.
“It’s a developmental necessity,” Newsom said of paid leave. “We’re committed to this.”
California’s policy would be a big step up from what the state currently offers: six weeks of caregiving leave, plus six to eight weeks for birth mothers through the state’s disability fund. The policy covers new parents and those who need time off to care for a sick loved one, offering a percentage of pay up to $1,216 a week.
Isn’t it messed up to use the state’s disability fund for new moms? That’s wrong.
Democrats act like money falls off trees. Where is this money tree and how can I get access to it? That’s all I want to know.
This is another stunning example of big government SUCKING. I know circumstances vary, but more government is never a good answer.
