From my FB Friend, Evan Handler
who is fairly astute politically despite being a minor celebrity (Sex and the City -- he also played Lloyd Blankfein in the HBO movie about the meltdown).

Will someone on the Democratic ticket please say, "Your Five Point Plan is not a plan at all. It is a list of goals, with no 'plan' for achieving any of them.
Achieving North American energy independence is not a plan. It is a goal. Improving education and job training is not a plan. It is a goal.
Curtailing unfair trade practices is not a plan. It is a goal.
Cutting the federal deficit is not a plan. It is a goal.
Championing small business by cutting taxes and regulations, without specifics on which taxes and regulations will be cut, and how those cuts will be paid for, is not plan. It is a goal."
A plan is something that lays out HOW you will pursue a goal. And Romney/Ryan have repeatedly, and adamantly, refused to state any specifics of how they will pursue the five goals their non-"plan" lays out.

always state GOALS not PLANS. It's an easy technique available to fool people. Also the RepuibliCONs frequently use "selling a pig in a poke" where they don't even tell us what the goals are (just how shiny they are).
