@NiskanenCenter will have an analysis of both @MittRomney's Patriot Pay and @HawleyMO's Rehire America plan up early next week.

Spoiler alert: They're complementary.

Interesting moral foundations work to be done here, as Mitt Romney introduces a large labor subsidy as a matter of patriotism, invoking conservative frames for what would be considered a liberal populist idea. Probably smart on his part. https://t.co/ZzEXOzrZ8X

Elizabeth Warren also used some of this language briefly before making liberal consultant speak her main campaign messaging a few months later https://t.co/n5NokitzyZ

Liberals tend to talk about economic policy using frames 1 and 2, Romney is using 3 and 4, even though the policy isn't very different from what some Democrats have proposed https://t.co/OE6pIzAptl

Joe Biden also likes to use this framework occasionally although the administration never had any significant policy push to back it up... https://t.co/9T56yhTdrA https://t.co/Qh3WwPMxEO
