Wamp's 20/20 Vision Sees a New World Where Great Stuff Comes Free of Charge

You have to give Zach Wamp points for chutzpah. On what he's calling ironically his "20/20 Vision Tour," he's setting off across the state to spread a particularly putrid brand of bullshit. He's for better schools and universities and health care and roads and bridges and even Internet broadband--all of which he can bring magically to Tennessee without higher taxes. In fact, what we need is a lot less government, and that's no problem, either. All we need is "strong and conservative state fiscal management" by Zach Wamp.
"Our 20/20 Vision will get us on the move in the right direction," Wamp said. "On the move economically, on the move upward in terms of education and reading, on the move in cutting the growth in government and saying no to a state income tax, and literally on the move on the issue of wellness and health. But it takes dynamic leadership to fire up the troops, mobilize the masses and carry people forward and articulate what it is we need to do as a state."

Apparently Wamp's "20/20 Vision Tour" comes with its own set of rose-colored glasses.

ANd here's another wonderful thing we can expect: Health Insurance sold like cars and big screen teeves:
"Under the system I propose, the healthier you are, the lower your health care costs will be," Wamp, a Chattanooga native and the state's 3rd District congressman, said in a phone interview. "The marketplace prevails."

Perhaps Rep. Wamp and his secret C Street religious cult members can just lay hands on the sick & heal them? After all, they did manage to get relieve themselves of those painful property tax bills. I'd settle if Rep. Wamp would just tell me how to also freeload off county services without paying my property taxes. Wamp wouldn't be much of a governor, but considering the rest of the republican field, he would easily be considered the sanest.
