America at the Breaking Point: Who Owns the Affordability Agenda and Who Pays the Price?
01/10/2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am CST
For millions of Americans, affordability is no longer an economic buzzword—it’s the daily battlefield of ordinary life. Groceries, housing, healthcare, childcare, insurance, utilities, and transportation costs are rising faster than wages. The political rhetoric is loud, but the refrigerator is louder. Families don’t need talking points—they need relief.
In this conversation, we’ll explore how people across the political spectrum understand the affordability crisis, who they believe is responsible, and what mix of policy, personal responsibility, and innovation might actually make everyday life more manageable again.
Please join us—and feel free to invite a friend who cares about these issues and is willing to engage in a respectful, thoughtful discussion.
This is an in-person event with the option to attend via Zoom link.
