09/26/2022 Tweet - "Yet another study showing that student loan "forgiveness" is an expensive bailout -- and American taxpayers are forced to foot the bill."
09/07/2022 Tweet - "I want to be very clear about this: Not one penny of debt is being "canceled" or "forgiven." This debt is being transferred from the 13% of the country with student loan debt to the 87% of the country that does not have student debt."
04/07/2022 Thune Questions IRS' Handling of Private Taxpayer Information, Calls for Better Customer Service for South Dakotans
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."
08/04/2021 Tweet - "Dems are refusing to learn from their mistakes. Inflation is skyrocketing, & Americans are paying higher prices after Dems' wild spending spree earlier this year. Now they want to spend $3.5 trillion MORE. Do they know this is taxpayers' hard-earned money -- not monopoly money?"
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."
06/16/2021 Tweet - "If your bill seems higher these days, you aren't imagining it. Inflation is at its highest level in nearly 13 yrs. Experts agree that Democrats' big-government spending spree is contributing, but Democrats aren't listening & the big $$ proposals keep rolling in."
06/15/2021 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. Ds need to take a hard look at what their policies are doing to the economy & stop forcing wild spending."
02/05/2021 Tweet - "Yes, college grads often trade in their cap & gown for debt & uncertainty, but there are more responsible ways to help. My proposal, which allows employers to help employees pay off student loans tax-free, became law the old fashioned way -- with bipartisan support in Congress."
07/28/2020 Tweet - "SCAM WARNING: If the @SDDOH contacts you about potential #COVID19 exposure, they will NEVER ask for credit card info or money. If you are asked for this info or asked to pay anything, it is a scam. It's sad to see scammers taking advantage of this crisis."
03/23/2020 Tweet - "Dems are calling the bill they're blocking a "bailout" even though the businesses we're trying to help are struggling due to no fault of their own -- they were shut down -- and employ MILLIONS of Americans. How many Americans have to lose their jobs before Dems allow us to act?"
03/23/2020 Tweet - "Dems are saying over & over this bill is a "bailout" for American businesses. It's not. The money they're talking about is in the form of *loans*. It has to be repaid. This is about Americans who are hurting. We're in a position to do something about it. It's time we do."

03/17/2020 Tweet - "Everything we're doing right now is time-sensitive. Just left lunch with @SenateGOP & @StevenMnuchin1 . We're working as aggressively as possible to put together a plan that addresses the health care and economic needs Americans have right now."
10/02/2019 Tweet - "Really impressed by my experience at @Showplace_Cab. Their facilities are top-notch, & even more importantly, their workers are skilled & hardworking. As an #ESOP, employees have a real stake in the company's success, & their dedication shows it. Proud to have them in SD."
09/05/2019 Tweet - "Sioux Falls has a brand new @CitiBank-- Great news for our local economy. Joined S.D. leaders @SenatorRounds, @RepDustyJohnson, @LGRhoden, and @PaulTenhaken to celebrate the occasion and help cut the ribbon for the new facility."
03/07/2018 Tweet - "#DoddFrank was a massive regulatory overreach, penalizing small banks and businesses in rural communities in states like South Dakota. Our reform bill will provide #Relief4MainStreet by helping smaller institutions free up their resources."
