Why Bernie Sanders Is Calling Out Hillary Clinton on Paid Family Leave
It seems that all hell has broken out with the Sanders campaign this week in two major areas: paid family leave and the cost of Bernie's single-payer health care plan. Bernie's proposed middle-class tax increases for both items are being rejected by the Clinton campaign.
Re the paid family leave, both candidates agree on 12 weeks of paid leave. Bernie supports the Gillibrand bill that would increase the payroll tax by .2% or $1.38 a week for the median wage. Clinton believes she has another way to pay for the bill.
The Sanders campaign is calling Hillary out on not supporting Gillibrand, except that not only has the New York Senator endorsed Hillary but she was sitting in the front row in Iowa Sat night AND Hillary acknowledged her. So OBVIOUSLY Gillibrand knows what Hillary has in mind -- and SHE doesn't feel that Hillary has flip-flopped at all.
Bendiksen photographs Kibera from another angle than JR.
We found ourselves in Kibera for another reason, wanting to learn more about the so-called “flying toilets” of Kibera. If you require translation, a “flying toilet” consists of human waste put into a plastic bag and tossed into the air, landing on roads or in gutters.
The photographs of both JR and Jonas Bendiksen bring the “flying toilets” of Kibera into sharp focus.
