Tea Party Out Polls Both Major Parties The Wall Street Journal published a poll conducted jointly with NBC which found that respondents had a 43% favorable view of the Tea party Movement versus a 35% favorable view of Democrats and a 28% favorable view of Republicans. This should send shivers down the spine of both political parties considering their appetite to grow government. Click here for the poll. April 3, 2009 Record tax and spend budget passes on party line vote The budget passed on a party line vote today in the New York State Senate. The vote was 32-30. Even though Long Islanders pay some of the highest taxes in the nation, Long Island Senators, Craig Johnson and Brian Foley voted in favor of the massive tax and spend budget. When asked about his plan to raise taxes during a recession, the Governor replied, "Does it (the budget) make sense. The answer is no, none of this makes sense". Toward the close of budget negotiations in March, the Governor stated, "If the legislature can maintain this type of discipline over the next few years, then we can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel,". "With economic conditions worsening by the day and no region of the State immune to the pain of economic challenges not seen since the Great Depression, we made the tough choices these difficult times demand,". "This budget is far from ideal, but neither was the dire state of the economy that confronts us. What we now have, however, is a road map for long-term economic growth and sustainable recovery to bring New York back into fiscal solvency,". Senate Majority Leader, Malcolm Smith. In light of these quotes, it would make sense to say nothing further. February 6, 2009 Non Partisan CBO: Stimulus bill harmful over long haul Click here for the story.

January 20, 2009 A Quote from one of our founding Fathers; "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
