VP Sara says that is VG; many businessmen like this; the progressive groups who are wont to be anti all the time (following their idol Hegel) says that it is NI (needs improvement):
1. It is too broad and lacks details
2. Some items like human rights and peace order are lacking
3. Some items like the economic targets are not doable
This post agree with VP Sara and the businessmen
1. We can only expect the SONA to be talking in broad strokes, to give the general direction, where are
we going given the time constraint. To go into the details will reduce into a cabinet meeting and will be boring
As he said he has gathered the best in the country can bring and the managers are paid millions
annually and it is up to them to work out the details and the road map how to get there. That is why
the President has his cabinet with their huge staffing and budget
We cant mistake the President to be like a mayor who deal with his constituents at the grassroot
to attend to the basic needs. Neither is he the COO. He has the executive secretary to manage
that
The President is right in being aspirational. - to bridge the gap between where we are and where
we intend to go.
All ready the country is the 35th richest country in the world in the ranks of Malaysia and Singapore
We achieved $400 billion in GDP. It would take Herculean effort to be in the level of Indonesia
whose GDP is trillion all ready
Our goal is reach GDP/capita of $6,000 from about $3,000 today That means we have to
1. Increase our economic output - more businesses and more hiring
2. Control increase in population
3. Beef up salaries of workers
We could be more if the economic managers work very hard and with growth rates target that
are at par or higher than ASEAN
All ready there are post SONA briefings to flesh out the directives of the President
2. Peace and order and probably human rights (the agenda of the anti) are to be handled by the
security forces and CHR have to work on this.
3. The economic targets can be achieved if we believe in the President and buy in to his agenda
We cant achieve them if we all think we are Presidents and we have a better agenda. We cant
reach our destination if there are too many dogs barking and there are too many obstacles like
many detractors, many anti, and many more who think they can do better
We all should like the President see stream of sunlight peering through amidst the dark clouds
and with all the 110 million of our people and the best minds gathered (and their respective
bureacracy and believe we can do it. There cant be a President unless we have enthusiastic
followers
