Ivanka Trump wrong about leave policy

The tax deductions would provide relief for these families, and a savings account would give them the flexibility to meet the needs of their children and their elderly parents.

On the heels of Team Trump unveiling its child-care plan, the GOP candidate’s daughter was asked to justify her dad’s controversial statement – that pregnancies are “an inconvenience for business” – during a quarrelsome interview with Cosmopolitan Wednesday. Her plan promises up to 12 weeks of paid time off, twice what the Trump plan offers.

“Respectfully, Hillary Clinton has been around for decades and there’s no policy benefiting either mothers or fathers in terms of paid leave”.

Ivanka Trump just blasted Cosmopolitan and said they need to “keep the focus where it belongs” following an interview about Donald Trump’s proposed paid maternity leave. She has pledged to use government spending and tax breaks to make sure that no family pays more than 10 percent of its income on care. “She is the one who has been pushing for it so hard: ‘Daddy, Daddy we have to do this.’ She’s very smart, and she’s right”, the candidate said.

Many evangelical Republicans might also balk at the fact the perk would be available to same-sex couples, according to Trump’s Web site, which says, “The benefits would be available in the same way that the IRS now recognizes same-sex couples: if the marriage is recognized under state law, then it is recognized under federal law“. “She did him a favor, because who wants to read it in Cosmo ― nobody wants to read it in Cosmopolitan magazine any more”. If two men had a child, would one of them be allowed to take time off?

The only recent Republican family leave proposal is the Family Friendly and Workplace Flexibility Act, which would have allowed employees to bank up to four weeks paid leave instead of getting paid overtime.

“By recapturing fraud and improper payments in the unemployment insurance program, we can provide six weeks of paid-maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit”, he said. Here is what each candidate is offering USA voters in their child care policies: Child Care Costs To keep child care costs low, the Democratic presidential nominee, who has made paid leave and child care center central planks in her campaign, is proposing families don’t pay more than 10 percent of their income for child care.

His campaign says it will be offset by additional growth in a detailed tax reform plan he’s going to promote later this week.

The Dr. Oz show edited out a section of Donald Trump’s appearance where he discussed kissing his daughter Ivanka as often as possible. “Can you talk a little bit about those comments, and perhaps what has changed?” “I recognize that far too few women can say the same for themselves and that I am more fortunate than most”.

No Republican nominee has ever proposed paid maternity leave before, though, in some form or other, it is a benefit in almost every other advanced nation.
