Here’s a letter to the Wall Street Journal:
Editor:
French president Emmanuel Macron wants to fight inflation by drenching the economy with more money (“Macron Seeks to Step Up France’s Inflation Fight [2],” July 8). Mon Dieu! Let’s hope that M. Macron doesn’t become a firefighter, for were he to do so he’d fight fires by drenching them with gasoline.
