John Thune: “Federal resources should not duplicate places that already have----”

I’m hoping the White House will become engaged. Texas is an incredibly expensive state and obviously one that we need, that we’ve got to hold if we’re going to keep the United States Senate.

I would love to have some spending cuts associated with the debt limit debate.

Well, that's nice of him. I guess. I don't know, what do you say on that? That's a decision that's made by my colleagues.
