Of course, what McCain is trying to avoid anyone noticing is that the problem isn't regulators failing to do
their job; it's that that man he tapped to write his economic policy - Phil Gramm - removed oversight of the
instruments that are laying waste to the finance sector from the regulators' job descriptions.

We all know McCain is incompetent when it comes to the economy, and that Phil Gramm sold out the
finance sector. You would think they would have brought in someone with substance when Phil hit the road.

Follow how people actually use your system
Subtraction is iteration too
Measurable goals are crucial
Avoid concrete timelines and avoid bloat
Leave time to iterate, in fact plan for it
