John Thune: “I represent a beef-producing state.”

I think we have a bunch of stuff we have to finish and we’ll just stay until we finish it.

I would love to have some spending cuts associated with the debt limit debate.

Unfortunately, I think after two government shutdowns that have extended for a long period of time, it’s better for everybody if there’s predictability, certainty, and just to take that issue off the table.

At some point, we’ve got to get this done.
