It would set "full employment" as a national goal to be met within perhaps three years; 3% would be the target unemployment rate.

First, he says, his liberal preferences clash with the church's generally conservative leanings; "I believe in strong government intervention," he says, his hands bobbing and weaving to stress his points.
