This show is more about policy and less about politics than the title would
imply--although the feisty Mr. Wurf's anger at President Carter for his anti-inflation
program comes through loud and clear. Solid, substantive discussion of inflation and the size of government. JW: "The President of the United States inaugurates an anti-inflation program. He puts no inhibition on profits, he puts no inhibition on interest, there's no inhibition on anything that makes the rich and wealthy richer and wealthier. And he says, 'You working people will take 7 per cent and no more, otherwise we'll use all of the apparent and unapparent power of this government.' So the president of General Motors comes to Washington and he says the program is excellent, goes back to Detroit, raises the price of automobiles, and nothing happens to him. When our membership here in New York State want to get more than a 7 or 7 1/2 per cent pay increase, the whole federal establishment falls down on their heads."
