During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to create a national commission to examine the possibility that government grant programs such as Social Security Disability Insurance, Supplementary Security Income, Medicare and Medicaid essentially discourage people from working. The belief is that they are sufficiently generous that people have a disincentive to work.

We've so far found no evidence of action. Neither the White House press office nor electronic searches through Whitehouse.gov, Google or Nexis turned up any tangible activity on this promise.

If and when the administration takes action on this promise, we'll be happy to change our rating. But for now we're calling it Stalled.
