Around this time in a presidential campaign, you’ll start to hear the different policy plans a candidate has crafted for their hopeful ascent to the White House. Candidates will try to define themselves as uniquely suited to handle the challenges our country faces, and to improve our everyday lives.

This has happened during each campaign I’ve been a part of, and this year is no different. But this year, I’m wondering where the new, fresh ideas are from the Republican Party. I’m waiting to hear how they’ll strengthen the middle class, and specifically how they’ll help women get ahead.

Instead, all I’ve heard are the same economic policies the GOP has been peddling for decades. Those policies haven’t helped women get ahead, and we have no reason to believe they’ll help women in the future.

A recent column in MarketWatch explained “how Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio would help women.” Well, from what I’ve seen in these two candidates’ policy positions, these two men are pushing the same GOP policies that have left women behind for years.

Let’s start with their tax plans. The pillar of these two tax plans is providing massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, while shifting the burden of balancing the budget to the middle class. Jeb Bush would lower the top tax rate to 28% from its current 39.6%, and Marco Rubio would help the wealthiest by bringing that tax rate down to 25%.

Giving the wealthiest Americans a break like this — unless it explodes the deficit as Republicans vow not to do — would push the burden onto the middle-class families. That’s not good for anyone, but it’s especially painful for women when you pair these plans with Rubio and Bush’s lack of support for pay equity, paid family leave and their promise to cut women’s health funding.

It’s no secret that today women on average make 79 cents for every dollar a man makes. That translates to a difference of earnings of over $10,000 per year on average. Instead of responding to this difference by supporting equal-pay legislation, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are dismissing it.

Marco Rubio has suggested that taking up equal-pay legislation in Congress is “wasting time,” and Jeb Bush said existing law was sufficient. Bush didn’t even know what the Paycheck Fairness Act was when asked about it. That’s not leadership — that’s out of touch with the economic needs of women.

It’s not just equal pay where these two fall short — it’s their positions on paid leave as well.

Democrats and President Barack Obama understand the importance of paid-leave policies for working families and workplace productivity. That’s why the president recently announced that federal contractors will now be required to offer employees paid sick leave, and why he called on Congress to pass paid family leave.

But Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush don’t seem to have a clue when it comes to this critical issue for women and families. Unbelievably, Marco Rubio has flat out said he doesn’t support federal laws to require paid leave, and as governor of Florida, Jeb Bush refused to support programs that would allow mothers to take paid time off after the birth or adoption of a child.

Their positions signal that if either one becomes president, the United States could remain the only industrialized nation in the world without a paid maternity-leave requirement.

When you consider Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush’s economic policies and how they’d impact women, it’s hard to imagine how we’ll get ahead with either of them in the White House. But considering they’re leaders in the Republican party, I’m not surprised they have no issue leaving women behind.
