John Thune: “The tough choices are with regard to those parts of the budget that we all know are growing dramatically.”

It's a pretty simple measure, but an important way to ensure that members of Congress are held to the standards that America should be able to expect of their representatives.

That's why again I hope that the administration is laser-focused on trying to get the strait open, get the shipping lanes opened up, and help out with that global energy supply.

It’s a great message. I like the message. But it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars.

There’s voter fatigue with high gas prices, and high diesel prices in my part of the world.
