Oct. 7, 2021 Rounds Opposes Debt Limit Increase Sen. Mike Rounds
Oct. 6, 2021 Tweet - "There's no way to make a $3.5 TRILLION bill cost $0. Even if you try to "pay for it" by taxing Americans' hard-earned money, the price tag doesn't change. Even if you spy on Americans' bank accounts to squeeze every last dime out of them, the price tag doesn't change." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2021 Letter to Hon. Charles Schumer, Majority Leader, United States Senate, Hon. Ron Wyden, Chairman of Committee of Finance, United States Senate - Crapo, Risch, Colleagues Call Out Harmful Marriage Penalties in Democrats' Reckless Tax Proposals Sen. Mike Rounds, ...

Sept. 29, 2021 Tweet - "If Democrats are going to ram through $3.5 trillion in spending with just 51 partisan votes, they can raise the debt limit without Republicans. We don't support this reckless agenda, and we're not going to help write them a blank check to fund it." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 29, 2021 Tweet - "1. There's no way Ds can make $3.5 TRILLION cost "zero" (except by raising taxes even more than they've already admitted) 2. This IS about vision. Republicans will never support Ds' vision of a socialist state overseeing/controlling every aspect of Americans' lives" Sen. John Thune
Sept. 29, 2021 Tweet - "Reminder: Dems control the House, Senate, & White House right now. There's no question who's to blame for this chaos -- it's all on Dems. As long as Ds continue to steamroll anyone blocking their path to socialism -- even members of their own party -- their disarray will continue." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021 Tweet - "Republicans will not be complicit in the absolutely reckless taxing & spending Democrats are proposing -- Dems will have to raise the debt ceiling on their own. They've known that since July. They have the means to do it, & they have the time to do it." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021 Tweet - ".@SpeakerPelosi is right about one thing: Democrats' reckless tax-and-spending spree is about more than the absurd price tag -- it is "about values."

Sept. 22, 2021 Tweet - "Inflation is near a 13-year high, Americans are worrying about if their paychecks can stretch to cover the higher prices they're facing, and Democrats want to spend $3.5 trillion more … Dumping that much money into the economy is pretty much guaranteed to fuel higher inflation." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021 Tweet - "The entire federal budget was less than $4.5 trillion in 2019. Democrats want to spend $3.5T on one bill. This reckless spending isn't meant to address the crises piling up under Pres. Biden's watch. It's the express lane to socialism liberals have been dreaming of for years." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021 Tweet - "Shocking reality of Democrats' reckless tax-&-spending spree: Their proposed corporate tax rate would be higher than communist China. That's certainly not going to help the United States be competitive on a global stage. It would be a huge disadvantage for American businesses." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021 Rounds, Smith Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Promote Tribal Self-Governance for Federal Food Assistance Programs Sen. Mike Rounds
Sept. 14, 2021 Tweet - "Americans deserve to know where their tax dollars went -- plain and simple. There was a huge amount of fraud in COVID-19 unemployment insurance programs.

Sept. 13, 2021 Tweet - "Pres. Biden's disastrous #DoubleDeathTax has been taken out of Dems' reckless tax-&-spending spree (for now). I've been sounding the alarm on this policy that would put an extra burden on family-run operations. I'll keep fighting against this new tax." Sen. John Thune

Aug. 10, 2021 Tweet - "Senate Democrats have handed our country's budget over to @SenSanders as they ram through their reckless tax-and-spending spree. Oh, and they're going to saddle the American people with higher taxes to pay for it." Sen. John Thune

June 15, 2021 Tweet - "It doesn't take an economic expert to see what this chart clearly shows. Since Ds have taken control in Washington, the price of everything from bikes to bacon has shot up.

May 18, 2021 Tweet - "In states like South Dakota, unemployment rates are low, vaccination rates are strong, & schools are open. We're ready for the rest of the country to catch up, but Pres. Biden's policies are hamstringing our economic recovery -- driving prices up & hiring down." Sen. John Thune
May 12, 2021 Tweet - "South Dakota made the right call by soon ending the Democrats' extra $300 in unemployment benefits. We have one of the strongest workforces in America. For those who are still unemployed, we need to incentivize them to find a job, and the Democrats' policy did just the opposite." Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021 Tweet - "Today's BLS report showed there were 8.1 million job openings in March, so why were only 266,000 new jobs added in April? Because many Americans are earning more on unemployment than they could in the workforce." Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021 Tweet - "You don't need an economics degree to figure this one out. Job openings are there, but Americans are discouraged from getting a job when they're making more on unemployment.

March 10, 2021 Tweet - "To be clear, Dems didn't even try to make their $1.9 trillion bill bipartisan. @SenateGOP was more than willing to work w/ Dems -- as we have on *all* the other COVID bills (passed under a GOP majority).

March 10, 2021 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Sen. John Thune
March 10, 2021 Tweet - "The $1.9 trillion bill being billed by Dems as "COVID relief" is a bad bill.

John Thune
March 3, 2021 Tweet - "The GOP-led Senate passed five BIPARTISAN bills to help Americans through COVID. Now that Dems have a razor-thin majority, they're jamming through a wasteful, self-proclaimed "progressive," completely partisan bill with ZERO bipartisan support.
