Tweet - "Let's be clear, Dems' $3 trillion+ #COVID bill will never pass the Senate. It's not targeted. It's not fiscally responsible. Republicans have been trying to negotiate in good faith, but Dems refuse to work w/ us to find common ground, & they continue to push their messaging bill."
Sen.John Thune
Aug. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans have offered multiple proposals for the next step of #COVID19 relief, yet each time Democrats come back with the same response: "pass the HEROES Act." 1. This bill won't pass -- it's not targeted & not fiscally responsible 2. This is not how negotiations work."

Tweet - "There's only one way we're going to make progress on the next round of COVID relief: Democrats must come to the table in a serious way. @SenateGOP wants to help, but piling an additional $3 TRILLION onto the national debt, as Dems have suggested, is a totally unserious proposal."

Tweet - "How to Quickly Explode the Debt 101: Spend trillions of borrowed dollars don't take time to see what is/is not working to help the country rashly spend 3 trillion more (and be sure to sneak in unrelated agenda items). I think Democrats are teaching the class."
Sen.John Thune
May 21, 2020
Tweet - "Wouldn't it be logical, wouldn't it be prudent, wouldn't it be rational for the Senate, the custodians, the stewards of the American people's tax dollars, to take a hard look at what is & what's not working before rushing headlong into spending another three $3 trillion dollars?"
