John Thune: “Try as we did on the House-passed version of it, we weren’t going to get there, and it was the small refineries issue.”

There’s voter fatigue with high gas prices, and high diesel prices in my part of the world.

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.

I worry about that, for sure.
