5. I wouldn't object to a caregiver amendment though.

But one designed that provides a free caregiver for the person at home and or transportation for the person that they are caring for to a free adult care facility for the time that they are working. Plus a bonus where they earn an hour off for every 2 to 4 hours that they work. So say they work and save up 8 hours, they then get that free care thing and they get 8 hours to do whatever they want. In other words a real day off. It has to be done though by a case-by-case basis and carefully considered before requiring a person to do it.
Of course what I would love to see would be universal health care that's free, free childcare and free assistance for caregivers bur the Republicans don't have the common sense to support that.
