Townhall was in attendance today at Heritage Action of America’s third-annual Conservative Policy Summit, where House Speaker Paul Ryan, Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Ben Sasse (R-NE), and Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC),gave compelling arguments on the future of conservatism and the Republican Party.

 

The primary structure of Wednesday's summit was broken down into four different sub-topics regarding the Republican Party. Leadership, defense, social, and economics were all apart of the discussion on Wednesday.

Sasse stole the show with his speech on economics. He laid out the four "bad ideas" that many people in Washington, D.C. tend to follow:

 

The idea that government creates jobs rather than the market.

The inability to discuss what government is, or is not.

Thinking that politicians can fix everything.

Not understanding the difference between “limited” and “small” government.

 

He went on to give his compelling rendition of Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America."
