John Thune: “There’s some states that are going to be on the hook for a pretty big payment.”

It’s a great message. 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.

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 worry about that, for sure.
