In this episode of The Lantern, host Ryan Martin sits down with Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, to discuss fiscal responsibility, political polarization, and the importance of curiosity in public life. MacGuineas explains why growing federal deficits matter for everyday Americans, how borrowing today shapes opportunities for younger generations, and why bipartisanship is essential to solving long-term challenges. Along the way, she reflects on her own career journey, the value of changing your mind, and why asking genuine questions may be one of the most powerful tools we have right now.
