John Thune: “We have not had a strong Secretary of Commerce in quite a while.”

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.

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.

It's an economic frustration.

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