I always wonder if the media flacks for the administration are aware of the delicious historical ironies when they announce grand 5 Year Plans. Probably not as the schools don't really teach enough modern history that would remind us commoners about the numerous failures of the old Soviet Union's 5 Year Plans. And of course, our friends in the media, the "drive-by media" as Rush Limbaugh calls them, would, of course, not even think of reminding us of those plans either.
I suppose it is possible that the administration apparatchiks are so confident that they are purposely telling those who have read a little history about these 5 Year Plans just to rub our noses in them. Nah, I doubt it.
