John Thune says 40-year-high inflation, border crisis are due to Dems' agenda

In an interview on Varney Co. on Wednesday, South Dakota Sen. John Thune criticized the Biden administration's massive spending policies, arguing that 40 year high inflation, America's border crisis and the energy shortage are attributable to Democrats' agenda.

SEN. JOHN THUNE: If we get the majorities, we're going to reprioritize all the Biden agenda items because we've got an economy that's wobbly. We have 40 year high inflation. We have a border crisis in this country. We're going to have to start from ground zero and do everything we can to reverse some of the harm that's been done through the massive spending bills.

You know that the IRS has 87,000 new employees that are one area where I think a Republican Congress, through the power of the purse, through the confirmation process, and through the power of the purse, may be able to get the administration back on some of the new spending programs they started as a result of those two big spending bills. We'll be doing everything we can, exercising all the powers we have, knowing that we're dealing with a Democrat president and a veto pen. We'll be using all the leverage we have.
