John Thune: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

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

It's a pretty simple measure, but an important way to ensure that members of Congress are held to the standards that America should be able to expect of their representatives.

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 an economic frustration.
