Sen John Kennedy (R)
Republican Louisiana Senator John Kennedy is pointing the finger of blame at the Biden administration for the dramatic rise in inflation that’s impacting the costs of just about every good and service in the nation. He said on the Senate floor Wednesday: “I think most fair-minded Americans know that President Biden is responsible for this inflation. You don’t have to be Einstein’s cousin to figure that out.”
Kennedy says the inflation is being spurred on by federal spending, and says the nearly two-trillion dollar reconciliation bill still under consideration will only impact the rate of inflation more.
Senator Kennedy says it shouldn’t come as any surprise that inflation is rising at a rate that’s helping to double the price of gasoline and responsible for double-digit increases in the prices of other consumer goods and services.
“Are you really surprised that prices are rising when the Biden administration is printing money, when the Biden administration is exploding our debt,” said Kennedy.
Kennedy terms the upward spiral of inflation an “economic cancer” that the Biden administration is proposing a remedy for which that Kennedy says won’t work. He told his colleagues that the administration wants to “pass a spending orgy bill, they call it reconciliation, chock-full of welfare blowouts when we can’t afford the social programs we have now.”
He says he hopes his Democratic friends will give up fueling inflation with “another extremist spending…bill.”
