John Thune: “Aviation is an important part of our U.S. economy.”

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.

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

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