I think everyone wants to see a "detailed plan", I think it is fair to ask of both sides. Sadly, politicians, and political discourse in general, is now much more of The Other Plan Wont Work, so Use Ours. and then you proceed to point out all the errors in the other plan. Why? because getting a lot of people to agree that a specific idea is a bad idea is easier, than getting a lot of people to agree that specific idea is the right, or best, idea.
Interestingly enough, the opposite is kind of true for platform speeches: it is easier to write a general all inclusive platform that everyone can agree on, than it is to write a platform that contains a real plan that can then be attacked.

Yes I know this an obvious post.
