(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) says that the newly launched Congressional Full Employment Caucus will “give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign.”
Jackson Lee made the statement while gathered with Democrats on January 29th to announce the establishment of the Full Employment Caucus.
“We will be answering the call of all of America because people need work and we’re not doing right by them by creating work,” Jackson Lee said. “I believe this caucus will put us on the right path and we’ll give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign with pride and strength.”
“In fact, I think that should be our number one agenda. Let’s write up these executive orders, draft them of course - and ask the president to stand with us on full employment.”
The Congressional Full Employment Caucus was launched last week by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.). Conyers website says: “The Congressional Full Employment Caucus will serve as a platform and working group for Members dedicated to identifying solutions to our current unemployment crisis and advocating for legislative action.”
Executive orders issued by a president may have the full force of law and do not have to receive approval by the legislative branch of government. During his State of The Union address last week, President Obama made clear he was willing to use executive actions to sidestep Congress.
In addition to Conyers and Lee, members of the caucus include; Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), José Serrano (D-N.Y.), and Mike Quigley (D-Ill.).

I just have ONE question:
How in the HELL does Jackson Lee expect the government to "create work"??
If she is talking about government jobs, where do you think the money to make payroll is going to come from??
You guessed it: HIGHER TAXES.
The government does not MAKE money - it TAKES money from citizens by raising taxes.
This administration...these insane libtards...are breaking this country, one piece of legislation and executive order at a time...
And when there are no longer any viable businesses in this country, where do they think the money is going to come from then?
LIBERALISM IS A DISEASE!
