The government is putting some money in it. I would prefer that money was used to extend the mother’s leave.

- gambiting 7y agoAgain, no one is taking anything away from you as is. You can prefer that the money was given to mothers instead, that's fine.
- nisuni 7y agoMoney is limited and the government decides how to distribute it. The difference between spending it on B and taking it away from A is, to me, absolutely unsubstantial.
- gambiting 7y agoBy that logic, by giving the money to you, the government is taking it away from starving children. It simply doesn't work this way.
- nisuni 7y agoThat’s quite a stretch. And it shows how limited your comprehension of the topic is. Clearly, the money that goes to starving children comes from a different Department, and they are on different budgets. You just cannot move money like that. And I still think that rather than giving a silly paternal leave, a longer maternal leave would be much more desirable.
