Why is EVERYTHING So Expensive?
Groceries. Rent. Childcare. Utilities. Health Care. The increasing cost of living has been a topic across generations. Over the last century, neither a cause nor solution has been identified. As we head into a new year with midterm elections on the horizon, tariffs shaking global markets, a disrupted farm economy and the national debt at historic highs, the question emerges again: why is everything so expensive?
Explore what this means for communities like Kansas City in a candid, fact-checked conversation about the forces shaping millions of Americans’ wallets. A panel of economic experts will unpack the pressures behind the rising cost of living and examine potential solutions.
Hosted in partnership with American Public Square and in conjunction with 2026 Civic Learning Week.
