Chairman Michael Long, will be on NY 1 tonight to discuss sundry issues in the political world.

"Barack Obama isn't a reformer. He's the president of Earmark Nation. We are about to enact the Obama federal health-insurance entitlement, which on top of all the other entitlements and their limitless liabilities will require pulling trillions of dollars more into the federal budget.

"Across the private sector, workers are swallowing hard as their employers freeze salaries, cancel bonuses, and institute longer work days.
