Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush Offers Up a Blueprint for Washington

Gov. Jeb Bush Monday night offered a fiscal and social blueprint for the conservative movement, pushing for economic freedom and a repeal of Obamacare. 
Speaking before a crowd of who's-who in the Republican Party, Bush decried Washington's current fiscal path as bogged down with unnecessary bureaucratic regulations and laden with policies that benefit the rich while disenfranchising the working-class. 
"Our current policy awards portfolio Americans at the expense of pay check America while enabling the greatest sustained deficits in American history," he said in Washington at the Jack Kemp Foundation annual dinner. "We should let market forces, not crony capitalism, decide where to invest and how to incentivize it's citizens to conserve."
Bush, who was honored with the Jack Kemp Foundation Leadership award, named after the famous conservative congressman, cabinet secretary and GOP vice presidential nominee, paid tribute to the late GOP congressman throughout his speech. House Speaker John Boehner spoke briefly at the event. Others in attendance included South Carolina GOP Sen. Tim Scott, Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee, and Wisconsin GOP Rep. Paul Ryan - who won the award two years ago. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was last year's recipient.
