This amendment allows, if a family does need to have a short-term advance, for a short-term advance, renewable six times. They can have six of them within a 1-year period of time. If at that point they cannot repay it, the institution has to give them a longer repayment schedule. We are not saying these loans cannot be given. But that recurring debt over and over and over again is what should be stopped by limiting it to six a year.
The speaker is discussing an amendment related to short-term loans and debt limits for families.

It is vital that paid family leave be universally available in this country and it will take leadership from businesses and from Members of Congress to make that happen.
I also think it's critical that the people of Syria have an alternative other than ISIS or other radical terrorist groups like it or the Assad regime.
The United States cannot bear this fight alone, and a strong coalition, including the neighboring Arab states, is obviously critical to destroying ISIS.
As you and I have both specified, and other folks have, too, 12 percent of workers overall have paid family leave.
