RUSH: Democrats in California are playing “Sandy” Claus again. This time, small businesses will pay the ultimate price.<\/p>\n

On Monday, California legislators passed a measure letting millions more employees take advantage of the state\u2019s paid-family-leave law. Now under that law, people can take off work for two months to bond with their newborns, or take care of sick family members — and while they\u2019re not working for two months, their employers have to pay them up to 70% of their salaries.<\/p>\n
Until now, California\u2019s paid-family-leave program was only forced on big companies, but not anymore. The new bill makes small businesses obey the paid-family-leave law, too. According to the Democrat who sponsored the measure, Hannah-Beth Jackson, access to paid time off is “especially critical” due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
Two months of paid time off? Wow. That\u2019s a deal. But anybody who understands how business really works can tell you what\u2019s inevitably gonna happen next.<\/p>\n
Small businesses — which are barely hanging on after Democrats forced the shutdown of California\u2019s economy for month after month — are gonna have no choice but to close their doors for good if they are forced to pay employees 70% of their salaries for not working.<\/p>\n
Now the workers that these idiot liberals think they are helping can have all the time off they want. They can bond with other people when they\u2019re out of work — “funemployment,” I think they called it once — while they\u2019re unemployed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
