Here’s a letter to the Wall Street Journal:
Editor:
You report that “Mr. Biden ordered U.S. refiners last week to come up with short-term solutions to increase capacity – or else” (“A Gas Tax Holiday From Reality,” June 23). The president’s actions are as brutish and stupid as are those of a schoolyard bully who, having scared away his playmates, warns them to come back and play – or else. Neither of these bullies should be surprised to discover that their threats won’t work.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
