Conservative Heart

Guest: Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute  The top ten candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination will meet in the second debate of the season tonight on CNN. Listen closely to how they talk about economic opportunity and the needs of the poor in America. It’s a topic that too-often trips up conservative politicians – and it really shouldn’t, according to Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute.  A new book takes conservatives to task for failing to use the right words or the right policies that could make a difference for the poor.
