Tonight President Obama will ask the country to rally around a set of goals on manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the deficit – a real, achievable plan that will create jobs, expand opportunity, and ensure an economy built to last.

Manufacturing

- Create one million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016

- Double exports by the end of 2014

Energy

- Cut net oil imports in half by 2020

- Support 600,000 natural gas jobs by the end of the decade

Education

- Cut the growth of college tuition in half over the next 10 years

- Recruit 100,000 math and science teachers over the next 10 years

- Train two million workers for real jobs at community colleges

National Security

- Invest in the economy with the money we're no longer spending on war

Deficit

- Reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next decade

More government spending on union jobs in the public sector.

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.

[henkster]

You beat me to it but you see it too.

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

I want a brown one. Oh...sorry, is that racist?

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.
