Sen. Thune’s Plan to Reduce Spending Receives Praise

November 17th, 2010

From The U.S. News & World Report:

The GOP is continuing to push back against the Obama-led spending spree from the last two years. It's difficult to do, given that Democrats still have the capacity to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government through the next few months—in lieu of the yearly appropriations bills—that would give them the authority to do much of what they want to do over the next two years even if the Republicans object.

 

Nevertheless, individual leaders are stepping up to the plate and offering their own ideas to bring down spending. On Tuesday the Senate Republican Caucus approved a resolution introduced by South Dakota Sen. John Thune "to cut federal non-security discretionary spending to fiscal year 2008 levels," a move that, if implemented, would roll back federal outlays considerably.

From The Hill:

South Dakota state Rep. Kristi Noem (R), who has evoked comparisons to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and gained national attention after a monster third-quarter fundraising haul in her race to unseat Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-S.D.), is embarking on a final campaign swing with Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).

 

Noem's campaign said Friday that Thune, a rumored 2012 Republican presidential hopeful, will stump with her at several stops during a bus tour that will hit more than 25 South Dakota cities before Election Day.

Sen. Thune Delivers the Weekly Repubican Address

October 28th, 2010

From The Hill:

Thune, a member of the Senate GOP leadership who may challenge Obama in the 2012 presidential election, posed the quintessential question for a party trying to unseat incumbents.

 

"I would like to suggest a simple question people should ask themselves to help cut through all the talk: Are you better off today than you were two years ago?" Thune said Saturday.
