		<description>Plans are great and the act of planning is imperative for purposeful action.  However, I question the amount of progress the USA is making and specifically the amount of progress we (the USA) has made from the 2004 plan to today as a result of the last plan.  

 These plans are well meaning and help stimulate dialogue however the problem is that these wide-ranging plans tend to be esoteric exercises toward lofty goals rather than small, measurable steps in the right direction.  These plans encompass so many different stakeholders and groups that producing action toward the goal becomes an exercise in moving mountains.  Smaller plans with measurable steps that are focused and supported by smaller groups of stakeholders would produce greater progress toward the larger goal.</description>
