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. Read more

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.

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. Read more
