the same way we honor our military folks, by screwing them over as country policy. I really hope I can afford to move out of this cess pit once my mom passes. Love mom, so am not wishing for this soon, but she's 90 and has bad lungs so am starting to look at what I want my life to be once I'm no longer providing care for her. We are one Repug president away from being a 3rd world country.

And compare the US to its peers - that is, all the other countries in the G-7. Every other country has 26 weeks or more. Even Russia, who they kicked out of the club, is better on this score.
