A JD Vance-aligned think tank is stirring the pot with conservatives

[PirateLT]

The American Compass think tank, tied to Sens. JD Vance and Marco Rubio, is challenging conservative thinking on free markets.

It’s the home of American Compass, a right-leaning think tank with eight staff members that’s spent the last four years challenging the GOP intelligentsia’s devotion to free markets and small government. Led for most of its life by former Mitt Romney aide Oren Cass, the group argues that Republicans should focus more on policies that help workers and domestic industry and be more skeptical of globalization and financialization. Among its ideas: Tax cuts don’t always work.

Republicans have never met a problem that couldn’t be solved with tax cuts or walls.  Take away those, they have nothing to offer.
