Seeking to encourage more private sector companies to provide and encourage paid family leave for their employees, the U.S. Department of Labor announced an “investment” in a study:
"I am proud to announce today that we are investing in new research to understand the benefits of paid leave." -@LaborSec #FamiliesSucceed

Why spend money on “research” when everybody knows what the findings will be?
@USDOL @WhiteHouse @LaborSec Seriously? You need a study for that?

As for “investing,” well, everybody knows what that means:
@usdol @laborsec @whitehouse 'investing' – spending taxpayers money.

Uh huh.
@USDOL @WhiteHouse @LaborSec wasting more American tax $$ way to go. How about you put a poll on FB or twitter n stop being wasteful??!!

@USDOL @WhiteHouse @LaborSec ONLY in Obamaland would the LABOR dept waste tax$$ studying paying people to not work, the opposite of Labor!

No “research” spending required, because Joe Biden already seems to have it figured out:
"If you give it a shot, I think you'll find the return is overwhelming." -VP to corporate executives on creating family-friendly policies

Biden bases that on all his years spent running corporations, or something.
