What does the U.S. federal budget say about the nation’s priorities, and how would you change it? Join us for a dynamic discussion on how resources are allocated, the challenges of addressing budget deficits and national debt, and the trade-offs involved in funding key programs like defense, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and government efficiency.
We’ll take a closer look at efforts to streamline federal operations, including initiatives like the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a recent advisory body focused on modernizing government processes and reducing waste. What role should such initiatives play in shaping our fiscal future?
We’ll also explore the mechanics of the budget process, the influence of political ideologies, and what changes might create a more equitable or effective allocation of resources. Whether you’re here to learn, share your vision for reform, or debate the future of federal spending, this meetup welcomes your perspective.
