We have a plan that lets new parents use their Social Security benefits for parental leave.

By Sen. Marco Rubio & Rep. Ann Wagner

Over 80 years later, this still rings true. 

Falling rates of marriage and childbirth, coupled with the loss of stable, good-paying employment in a rapidly shifting global economy are making young families socially and financially insecure.
