Politician
Dec. 10, 2021
Tweet - "How could this be any clearer? The economy doesn't need and can't afford the massive and reckless tax-and-spending spree that Democrats are trying to ram through Congress this holiday season. Again, all it would take is one Senate Democrat to stop this bill in its tracks."
Sen. John Thune

Letter to Dr. Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner Social Security Administration - Reopening Field Offices to the Public
Sen. John Thune, ...
Nov. 30, 2021
Tweet - "Yes, Democrats' tax-and-spending spree is recklessly expensive & would drive inflation higher. What's more concerning is how it would permanently grow the size of the federal gov't. There is no turning back from this. It's a down payment for socialism -- plain and simple."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 29, 2021
Tweet - "Senate Dems have tried to rush consideration of the annual defense bill in favor of their reckless tax & spending spree. Over 900 amendments and not a single floor vote. Our troops deserve better. Our national security requires it. #NDAA"
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 19, 2021

Rep. Dusty Johnson
Nov. 17, 2021
Tweet - "Thanks to inflation, supply chain issues, labor shortages, & transportation costs, Thanksgiving this year might be one of the most expensive ever. What are Dems doing in response? Ignoring these real issues & continuing with their plan to spend TRILLIONS more taxpayer dollars."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 17, 2021
Tweet - "I wish Dems were as concerned about inflation as I am. Americans are feeling the pain -- from higher grocery bills to higher energy costs. Dems' reckless taxing and spending will only drive inflation higher & higher. They should abandon Biden's reckless #BuildBackBroker plan."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 10, 2021
Tweet - "How much higher must inflation get before Ds see the red flashing lights & stop their partisan plan to dump trillions of additional federal dollars into the economy? Americans are already paying more for groceries, utilities, etc. -- Ds' big gov't spending bill will make it worse."
Sen. John Thune
