On facebook, we asked what issue do you want president obama and congress to address this year . President upon is expected to announce plans for federal contractors to pay employees at least 10. 10 an hour. House speaker john potter was asked about the issue when he spoke with reporters today. Heres a look. What do you think about these actions by congress . Do you have any support . The president has the authority to raise the minimum wage for the federal contracts. That understands the game. This affects not one current contract. It only affects future contracts with the federal government.

Order doesnt undo the Johnson Amendment, which candidate trump promised to destroy. Only congress can do that. In fact theres a lot that candidate trump promised that President Trump didnt deliver in that executive order. So much so that the American Civil Liberties union didnt even bother to sue, calling it just a photo op and not worth spending much time or energy on since trump didnt do the things people really feared, like taking steps for making it easier for christian businesses to discriminate against gay people. Still, the fact is no group is more supportive of donald trump than white evangelicals and some of those supporters seem perfectly content with one religious leader calling the executive order an unexpected delight and pleasant surprise, even as other christian writers expressed disappointment. But thats not the only way donald trump is doing constituent service in his first months in office. Trump and his team are taking full credit for aprils job growth, the 87th stra
