John Thune: “I think that benefits all of us as we try to make good and informed decisions.”

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

I just think, if you’re looking at issues that we want to get at the heart of what everybody seems to be saying, the Democrats and others are saying, are important, we're concerned about.

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

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.
