John Thune: “The goal is to get the bill across the finish line by the end of the week.”

Both pieces of legislation strike at the very heart of issues that the American people care deeply about, passionately about, and we'll see if the Democrats are willing to take yes for an answer.

It's an economic frustration.

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

Odds are we plan on being here next week," said Thune.
