That is simply what the amendment does. I commend Senator Roth for all of the effort he took to be responsible with this tax cut bill. I spoke to Senator Roth about the inequity for women in the workplace, because women have children and they have to lay off a few months. Some choose to lay off for six years until their children go to school. Some choose to lay off 18 years.
Women live longer.
That is not fair. This bill attempts to give them catchup provisions for their pensions. It is a great part of this bill. I support it totally. We also have increases in charitable giving.
