I can understand that.

And I feel like I experience the same thing from all political candidates. To really try to explain how things would work is to wonky for most people's level of interest, assuming that there's even really a plan and it's not just rhetoric.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I'm really curious how Obama can cut as many taxes as he's talking about cutting, implement as many social programs as he's talking about implementing, and ensure as many labor protections as he's talking about delivering. I'd love to see some numbers.
