It's a big topic that I feel all over the place about, as well. I definitely see both sides of the coin.

I agree.
Why do you think this plan lacks focus, even for those who have read the documentation beyond the graph breakdown on recovery.org? I have not looked at recovery.org in a while.
I think that maybe the safety nets were deemed dead ends by the powers that be. Then again, we have many Americans who are totally against any kind of social safety net (usually based on class and race stereotypes, etc.).
