Washington’s paid family leave program running short on cash

Under the law, eligible workers receive 12 weeks paid time off for the birth or adoption of a child or for a serious medical condition of the worker or the worker’s family member, or 16 weeks for a combination of both.

Officials with the Employment Security Department, which oversees the program, told lawmakers at a Senate Ways & Means Committee hearing last week that because of a significant increase in demand, there are concerns about the fund’s solvency and that a deficit was likely soon.

A government program broke in less than two years? Huh.

if only there were a way to know and plan for a child coming, i know it’s a crazy thought, but maybe the mothers/fathers to be should prepare by, idk saving up their personal ledge for 9 months?

We should cancel this anyway. It was a stupid program. You extended time off? Save your vacation and sick time. Just another liberal program.

Government can't just keep giving money away to all kinds of things. It will bankrupt the country. DAH!!!
