Dec. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Fewer options & higher costs -- that's Democrats' idea for childcare reform. A liberal think tank estimated their plan would RAISE costs $13,000 per child. But, Dems have shown they aren't interested in facts or figures, they've set their sights on socialism & aren't looking back."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 14, 2021
Tweet - "The last time inflation was this bad, E.T. was premiering in theaters. Rather than passing their $5 trillion down payment on socialism, Democrats should phone home and hear from their constituents about the rising cost of nearly everything in our economy."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 8, 2021

Sen. John Thune
Nov. 18, 2021
Tweet - "Dems love to claim their policies help average Americans, but an enormous part of #BuildBackBroker gives BILLIONS to rich Americans in states like New York & California. It's comical watching Dems try to spin how this provision helps anyone other than wealthy coastal elites."

Compared to last year (Money bag)Turkey is up 18% (Chart with upwards trend) Gas prices are at a 7-year high (Warning sign) Cost to heat SD homes is expected to increase 50% to 100% Biden's #BuildBackBroker socialist spending plan would push inflation even higher."
