They are concerned about all the regulations coming out of agencies like the [Environmental Protection Agency]. The heath care reform bill is imposing all kinds of new mandates on businesses.”
In July, Thune proposed the Deficit Reduction and Budget Reform Act, which has three prongs: “eliminating wasteful spending”; budget reform, including a requirement for a binding joint budget resolution; and creation of a Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction.
