it exists to advance a mainstreet vision for conservatism. we pursue our mission primarily through our print magazine and online journalism as well as select conferences and events like the one you are attending here tonight. we are founded here in 2002 only 20 years ago now to reunite conversations we felt they had neglected for far too long. our magazine was a rare voice against the iraq war in the early days of that conflict and a commitment to a foreign policy of realism restraint continues to animate our publication today our mission was broader than that one issue. we want to return considerations of faith and family. to the center of our political discourse. we felt that they were too often simply played and then ignored when policymaking. we wanted to recalibrate the conversation around political economy on the political right. we wanted to advance the interests of american workers against an increasingly globalized free trade regime that prioritize corporate profits overe the concerns of real workers in the real economy now if you re

there's so much mainstreet frustration here. >> there is a lot there. let's try to unpack. if you look at the inflation gauge which the fed tracks most closely, the core pce, has been running 2% so that is good news. any month could go one way or the other but it's widely accepted by market participants, those who were assuring us we would be in a recession which we are in anything but that these trends have been favorable. part of what you need to do is get a little bit under the surface. we learned yesterday that 65% of young people tell us they are happy with their finances. you mentioned bidenomics. ask people about insulin costs, $35 a month, 82% support giving medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices, that is something this president got over the legislative transom and it is lowering prescript and drug costs for families as we speak. you have to get below the surface and ask specific policies because i agree with you, when you ask weisbrod questions you corral a bunch of other sentiments. i'm not sure what you are tracking. i'm glad to see people are spendin
