How do you provide further economic stimulus when the deficit is already at unprecedented levels? Polls indicate the American public is most concerned about the deficit. The fact is the initial stimulus was neither well drafted nor spent. The thought of providing tax relief or tax incentives to stimulate job growth is anathema to this administration. I'm not so sure they know what to do at this juncture . . . so what happens? Nothing. The administration is stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

What do you think is the likelihood we get some action like this from the Obama administration? Is it likely to be just more party line rhetoric?
