(Oliver Contreras\/The Washington Post via AP, Pool)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 8:32 AM PT \u2013 Friday, June 10, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) said Americans feel discouraged as the government failed to address the nations top issues. Thursday, the Louisiana Republican argued DC has let the American people down.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI think most American\u2019s are very discouraged right now,\u201d said Kennedy. \u201cThey\u2019re worried about inflation, crime, the border and their kids education.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kennedy said inflation destroyed the American Dream and assured Louisiana is bearing the brunt.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIn my state, the price of gas is so high that it would be cheaper to just buy cocaine and run everywhere,\u201d the senator voiced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden-flation is gutting our state like a fish.<\/p>\n<p>Louisianians are digging into their savings. <\/p>\n<p>At $100 a tank, people can\u2019t afford to fill up their cars with gas.<\/p>\n<p>Even food banks are cutting back. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/duW9euMmiG\">pic.twitter.com\/duW9euMmiG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 John Kennedy (@SenJohnKennedy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenJohnKennedy\/status\/1534934652561104910?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Republican senator reiterated his sentiments in a video posted to his YouTube channel Thursday. He stated that president Biden\u2019s coronavirus relief bill put America over the top. He shed light on what some of the funds were actually used for.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIn New York they used $12 million to expand a minor league baseball stadium,\u201d he said. \u201cIn Arizona they spent $7.2 million to increase the prize money at horse racing tracks.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kennedy affirmed the government needs to stop spending money it doesn\u2019t have. Meanwhile, the inflation rate has continued to hit its 40 year highs, landing at 8.3 percent in April. This comes shortly after Biden\u2019s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen landed in hot water for admitting she was wrong about her past assessments of the inflation crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Kennedy reiterates, it seems like Biden has given up. He questioned when the administration will start firing people for their mistakes.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/house-gop-decry-democrat-proposed-gun-control-laws\/\">House GOP Decry Democrat-Proposed Gun Control Laws<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
