There are a lot of companies that set growth targets - say, four percent per year - and work their asses off to not go above that. If all of a sudden you're seeing commercials for some company that doesn't normally do commercials, this is why.

The reason they do that is runaway growth isn't sustainable. It's also unsustainable in the public sector.
