John Thune: “I want to also thank you for holding this important hearing.”

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

It's an economic frustration.

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.
