| 0:00.0 | There are a couple things in this plan that actually, I think, go beyond what even the most |
| 0:04.5 | pessimistic people thought would be in here. The plan, like I said, by and large, it consolidates |
| 0:09.7 | where they are already and then takes it the next logical step forward. In a couple ways, though, |
| 0:15.4 | it goes beyond that. And the most significant way, and I know just from seeing people react to it as the news came out as those of us who combed the plan with a fine-tooth combed |
