09/22/2021 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."
09/15/2021 Tweet - "Simple economic concept at work here: If you flood the economy with government spending, the price of goods goes up. For all their talk about helping hardworking Americans, Dems' economic policies are making these workers' lives more difficult."

07/21/2021 Tweet - "Democrats plan to pass one of the largest tax hikes in history to fund their big-government fantasy. This reckless tax-and-spending spree would pour gasoline on the flames of inflation, and American families would pay the price -- literally -- with more taxes & higher prices."

My letter(Special character) https://thune.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=57CC3FF1-CBB7-481A-B927-5F6A0E449219"
03/10/2021 Tweet - "The $1.9 trillion bill being billed by Dems as "COVID relief" is a bad bill.
