to go flat....i.e.stop increasing....actions have to be taken.
The bill has been signed. Nobody knew or still knows what was/is in it, hence how can any actions be defined?
Obama's objective has been accomplished....he got 'his' bill passed.
Costs? unknown!
Benefits? Unknown!
Impact on we the people? Unknown!
Maybe what they should be working on is to define exactly what the bill states and it's economic impact.
And then Obama can ask the question, just like he has for extending the Bush tax cuts......"...show me where the money is going to come from to offset the costs...".

No leadership = no results
