Discussed by Andrew Brown

Part 1 of 2

Dark horse presidential candidate Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, D-N.Y., recently unveiled her “family bill of rights,” a plan she claims “will lift many of the financial burdens on families and help level the playing field for children” within her first 100 days as president. Unlike the actual Bill of Rights, Gillibrand’s proposal expands the role of government while doing little to help struggling families.

Andrew C. Brown, J.D. is the Director of the Center for Families and Children at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Today, Andrew will be discussing the consequences of Gillibrand’s proposal.
