John Thune: “I think the president is looking at this as a means to an end. I don't think it is the end itself.”

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.

It ought to be something that should be a no brainer here on the floor of the Senate.

I worry about that, for sure.
