WG Economy: Inflation Is Better But Still A Problem

WG Economy | David Winston

December 14, 2022

New reports show the Consumer Price Index has come down to 7.1%
year-over-year inflation, and Wall street rejoices. While the peak was 9.1%
in the summer, a decline is welcome news going in the right direction, by
no means is the country out of the woods with high inflation. Prior to this
administration, the last time inflation was 7.1% was June 1982.
Additionally, this is the 12th consecutive month with inflation over 7% and
the last time that occurred was March 1981 through February 1982. At this
point in 2021, inflation was 6.8% for the month of November, so we are
still at a slightly higher point than a year ago. [2]Read more

Retention issues? Political strategists weigh in on recent departures from
the Democratic Party

Three Democrats - from all levels of government - recently announced they
are leaving the Democratic Party

Several elected Democrats - despite a great deal of success in the 2022
midterm cycle - have chosen to end their affiliation with the Democratic
Party in recent weeks, raising concern over whether the party may be
suffering from a retention problem as political divides continue to widen
in the United States.

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who has refused to fall in line with other
Democrats on key issues, announced Friday in an op-ed for the Arizona
Republic that she was leaving the Democratic Party and has registered as an
independent, citing increasingly partisan interest and radicalization of
both political parties as the reason for her departure. [3]Read more

Sinema's Decision Solidifies 2022 As The Year of Independents

WG Discussion Points | David Winston

December 9, 2022

Senator Kyrsten Sinema's decision to become an independent has sent
shockwaves through the Senate. From her statement: "It's no wonder a
growing number of Americans are registering as independents. In Arizona,
that number often outpaces those registered with either national party.
When politicians are more focused on denying the opposition party a victory
than they are on improving Americans' lives, the people who lose everyday
are Americans. That's why I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans
who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken
partisan system in Washington." Her announcement coincides with another
political milestone for independents this year. The 2022 election marks a
high point for independents at 31% of the electorate, according to the
preliminary data from the Edison Research national exit poll. [4]Read more
