Hungary, I think, has two years of paid leave. Sweden, I have some issues with Sweden, but Sweden has 14 months. Sweden, after 14 months, makes women go back to work full, full, full time and put them in institutional care, and all those babies are breaking down. So 14 months isn't even enough. But if we could even get to a civilized place of one year of paid leave in this country—

And then the next two years, some way that parents could be complemented so they could work part-time, supplemented so they could work part-time. I'm a reasonable, realistic person. I know this country is never going to go for three years of paid leave, even though I would love them to.

I also know that this country isn't going to go for an entitlement called paid leave because that's the kind of country we are. We talk a big game, but we don't want to put our money where our mouth is. There is the possibility, now that the Republicans are in, of a creative solution, which is potentially using things like Social Security in advance, borrowing from your Social Security.

So I'm a mom, and I say, ah, to stay home, I can borrow from my Social Security for a year. And then work a year or two longer in my life. Wouldn't you say that most women who wanted to stay home with their babies would say, I'll work longer so I can stay home with my baby. There are ways to creatively deal with it. From my perspective, this is what's going on.

People on the left will not compromise. They'll only do an entitlement called paid leave, but they only are asking for it for three to six months. After that, they want women back in the workforce and institutional daycare. So I'm not on the left. So people on the right talk a lot about family. They're the party of the family now. But they do not want tax dollars to go into paid leave.

They don't like the entitlements that already exist, and they don't want to add any more. And so the only way they're going to give it to women and men is if they put skin in the game.

This is the country we live in. Again, I'm a realist. I think in any way that we can give families the choice to care for their own children, particularly in the early years, we will create a population of healthier children.

Well, the research shows, the longitudinal attachment research shows that children who are insecurely attached at 12 months of age, 20 years later are insecurely, 80% of them are insecurely attached and suffer from mental disorders. That's what the longitudinal attachment research says. So we now have decades of basically children were followed from when they were infants.

And the ones who were securely attached 20 years later are still securely attached and doing great. And the ones who were insecurely attached... most still insecurely attached, and it's tied and correlated to all of these mental illness conditions, right? So there's a lot of research to show what attachment security does for children in the long run.

So you're asking a question about, I mean, I suppose you could take your paid leave and go play soccer in the park and go play tennis and i don't know like play cards with your friend i mean you know how can i say how people are going to use their paid leave but if your paid leave is being used to be home with your child then it's going to benefit your child
