We must all be grateful that we don’t have a Republican President or it would be Libya, Libya, Libya all the time, a deafening chorus of shrieks and imprecations. “How could the White House be so stupid as not to learn the lessons of Iraq?” “Who knew what, and when?” We would also be hearing much more about the consequences of our failures: the continuing flows of arms, funds, and jihadis to various groups in Africa and beyond, not to mention the damage to U.S. prestige. The responsible officials would be hounded by an enraged press corps and an aroused public. Hillary Clinton has actually been quite lucky that the GOP attack focused almost solely on Benghazi, when that tragic incident was only the tiniest piece of a major policy disaster.
Donald Trump will call for six weeks of paid maternity leave for new mothers in a Tuesday policy address, breaking with GOP orthodoxy. ... Stay-at-home parents will also be eligible to take the deduction.
I've read that last sentence five times.
So he wants Uncle Sam to give money to people who have children if they don't have jobs.

It's a desperation tactic. The same thing that Japan and some European countries are doing -- trying to bribe people to have children.

Just wondering who gets the honor of paying for all this: the employer or the taxpayer.

It isn't. Let me give you my quickie sheet on how to tell the 4 major candidates apart:
one is a crony capitalist,
one is a corrupt, criminal politician,
one agrees with TEH BERN 73% of the time,
one is Jill Stein (scratch a Green, find a Red)
I don't see a whole that that could be construed to be conservative in that lot. Well, maybe it depends on the remaining 27%? that and Mike Pence.
Americans' political ideology remained essentially stable in the past year, with conservatives retaining the barest of advantages over moderates in Americans' self-identified political views, 37% vs. 35%. Liberals held firm at 24%.
