Forward. and governor romney has thrown out that number which is essentially meaningless but the number that is meaningless is the key to his whole strategy is a $5 trillion tax cut that he has been unwilling to say how he would pay for it. >> is this the lesson though from the -- dprfrom 08 to now,e you guys very careful about not overpromising? >> well, no. i think that hes laid out are ambitious but practical, achievable goals. >> what makes them ambitious? >> i think a million new manufactur...
