John Thune actually said...

"We have not had a strong Secretary of Commerce in quite a while."

"We need to remove needless and outdated regulation and reduce burdensome tax rates for businesses of all sizes."

"We in Congress must make jobs and the economy our top priority, and that means we must strive to do what we can to unleash the great American entrepreneurial spirit."

"Our bill also includes a sense of Congress calling on USTR to encourage other nations to follow our example by also improving their de minimis thresholds."
