Uh...guys...look; the numbers are too specific.
These are goals and “quotas” set in a command economy. It’s 0bama’s “Four Year Plan.” Few realize it, few realize it can’t work. Never does.

Yes. His target audience is too stupid to understand that government is an anchor and not an engine of the economy.

Sounds like your typical Stalinist 5 YEAR plan.
Nothing about how they are to achieve these gains.
Nothing about removing the obstacles to private
enterprise, lowering Capital Gains, reducing taxes
OR maintaining our defense.
Typical 5 YEAR PLAN.
