Nowhere near as much. The Government went on a wild spending spree to stimulate the economy but I reckon we’re going to be paying for it later.

I agree; I’m sure your economy has suffered job losses like mine. It’s utter stupidity at this juncture.

Your system makes a lot more sense. Personally I think he’s made a mistake and he can’t afford to do that if he wants to be our next leader. he certainly won’t have major business backing him.

Well, this is an interesting issue, isn’t it? Over here we have the Family Leave Act, which doesn’t make companies pay anything extra for employees being off, but does guarantee them up to 3 months of time off and still be able to have a job. Most people will use a mix of vacation and sick time, both of which are accrued, to continue getting some kind of pay, and if they don’t have that then they still get the time off, but without pay.

I think that’s fair enough. To force companies to have to pay extra is going a bit too far.

Maternity leave should be a government problem – after all its government policy, whatever party is in power.
