re: #492 Mike Lamb

This proposal is literally everything wrong with the US approach to a safety net: use your own money to pay for family leave so that you can work later into life.

Saying it out loud should be sufficient to get it laughed to oblivion.

The unfortunate part is that when Democrats oppose the bill, the compliant media will go along with Republican framing that Democrats are against families.

Honestly I’m not against having this as an option if people want to do it, but there should be other, more convenient avenues available before something like this is even considered.
