John Thune: “It seems to me that the question is there clearly needs to be some kind of reform of the regulatory system.”

It's an economic frustration.

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.

The only conclusion one can draw is that the Democrats have concluded that it is good politics for them not to allow the Republicans to ‘get a victory’ or the president to ‘get a victory’ in the middle of a political season.

I worry about that, for sure.
