@mott-the-hoople saidI'm sorry if your usual right wing propaganda rags have left you with the false impression that a law enacted by Congress would use the term "loved ones" and that, in the unlikely event they did, leave it undefined.
who writes the law…ummm yeah, the ones that just left it hanging at “ loved one”

Interestingly:
"the data show that declining profits (1946–84) were in fact accompanied by increasing investment and the later increasing profits (1984–2016) were accompanied by declining investment."

Inflation is TAXES that wont show up in your data.

Right wingers sure are a gullible lot; it was paradise under Trump and less than 7 months under Biden have turned the US into a hellhole.
Inflation is up 5.4% in the last 12 months during an unprecedented recovery. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/
GNP in the same period is up from $17.4 trillion to $19.2 trillion or more than 10%. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gross-national-product

Maybe you guys should wait for one to be drafted before you come out screaming against it.

@no1marauder saidinflation is bad now, it will get a lot worse since the economy was stimulated with tax dollars. That money is about gone and people now have no free money but are faced with high and rising prices.

@mott-the-hoople saidHow can money that is "about gone" fuel inflation?

Few economic experts agree that inflation will "get worse" in the third and fourth quarters.

@no1marauder saidbecause everyone on a spending spree depleted supplies driving prices up. Now the money is gone but the high prices remain.

“ The bad news? There is no inflation playbook following a once-in-a-century pandemic. No one truly knows how “transitory” inflation will be.
“We were never good at forecasting. Nobody is, not even the brilliant minds at the Fed,” Fisher said. “I pray the Fed will be right. I hope it’s transitory. It’s not clear it will be.””

@mott-the-hoople saidThat article is nearly three months old.

Prices cannot remain high if there is insufficient demand for the goods. If "the money is gone" standard economics says prices will tumble back to pre-stimulus levels.
But since the so-called "spending spree" was only a small part of our giant $19 trillion economy, the real cause of the short term inflation is supply bottlenecks which should pass quickly. So inflation will moderate in the months ahead.

@joe-beyser saidWhat stands out about this post..."The employers are extremely sensitive to it." Uhh, you think?? Their business may fail without employees that they count on every day. Libs dont get this, because to them employers are a despicable lot who, Frankly, make more money than they do. Don't listen to me, ask Suzianne.
I have been fortunate enough to work for a company that offered two weeks for this kind of leave. I took it for my fiancé which is technically not immediate family. They were cool about it. On the other hand many many would abuse the system if it were to become law without very specific definitions. The law makers are all too aware that employers will be extremely sensitiv ...[text shortened]... to the freebie crowd now. This is very unprofessional to treat businesses this way. Poor leadership

@no1marauder saidSo, we are not supposed to write about the events of the day? We are supposed to write about what will be put down in the final bill??? The final law.? Later on, but not today????
