Reynolds: Progressives Want High Gas Prices & American Suffering


NY Post (March 11, 2022) – (By Glenn Harlan Reynolds,a professor of law at the University of Tennessee and founder of the InstaPundit.com blog) The record of ‘establishment hacks’ seems pretty bad. Of course, that assumes they want cheap gas, cheap food, energy independence and to promote America’s interests. There’s every reason to think the opposite: We’re not getting cheap gas, cheap food, energy independence, etc. because that’s not what the establishment wants. What we’re getting is what the establishment does want; if we don’t like it, tough.

Don’t pretend that high prices and American suffering are a ‘bug’ for the establishment — it’s a historic feature
