#441 โ€“ Cenk Uygur: Trump vs Harris, Progressive Politics, Communism & Capitalism

So conservatives love paid family leave. Liberals love paid family leave. That's why it pulls so high. So why isn't she proposing it? It's not in her economic plan.

Tim Walz already passed it in Minnesota. He showed how easy it was. If you want votes, and then you know what's going to happen if you propose paid family leave. The Republicans are going to go, no! Our beloved corporations don't want to spend another dollar on moms, right? And they fall for that trap. And then you're in an infinitely better shape. So why doesn't she do it?

Oh, that's going to drive up inflation. You shouldn't get paid anymore. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. So you're saying...
