Finding An Alternative to Paid Family Leave

Earlier this week, a Senate subcommittee held a hearing on government-supported paid family leave, with Sens. Joni Ernst, Iowa Republican, and Kirsten Gillibrand New York Democrat, both testifying in favor of providing paid family leave through the federal entitlement system. Mrs. Ernst especially touted her commitment to supporting working families, and mentioned her collaborative efforts working with Senate conservatives like Marco Rubio on the current paid family leave bill.
