And as the The Post so aptly put it in your editorial, that\u2019s a lot of bull.<\/p>\n<p>Do Biden and his handlers actually believe that the lowering of gas prices by a few pennies is going to solve the problem of high gas prices and increasing rising inflation?<\/p>\n<p>If they do, then I believe they are more stupid than any of us had believed.<\/p>\n<p>What happens after the 180 days are up? Is he still going to blame Russian President Vladimir Putin for the price hikes? And how much is it going to cost to replenish the oil reserve when prices go back up in the fall?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe by then, someone will have drilled some sense into their heads \u2014 that the best way to reduce gas prices and the soaring inflation is to \u201cdrill, baby, drill\u201d!<\/p>\n<p><em>Richard A. Ketay<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Newark, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gas has hit an all-time high, and Americans are feeling it bad. Biden has hit the pinnacle of his failed political career. He can now say that he is a complete failure.<\/p>\n<p>Now Biden plans to release the oil from the strategic reserves to bring down the cost of gasoline. It is totally absurd. Why would you want to touch the reserve when you can open up the pipelines and continue to drill oil?<\/p>\n<p>The reserves are exactly that \u2014 reserves of oil to be tapped in the event of an emergency. We don\u2019t have an emergency. All we need to do is drill. <\/p>\n<p><em>Gene O\u2019Brien<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Whitestone<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So now Biden has authorized the release of some 1 million barrels of oil per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is no plan to replace that oil. All the Democrats are in favor of this plan, including Sen. Chuck Schumer.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder where Schumer was when President Trump proposed refilling the SPR. Oh, he was one of the votes that defeated that proposal. I guess now we have a \u201cnational emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unless oil prices drop sharply, Democrats will not get elected mid-term.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bill Isler, Queens<\/em><\/p>\n<p>His first day in office, Biden began destroying our energy independence.<\/p>\n<p>Now as gas prices and inflation rage, Mr. Not-My-Fault is draining our strategic oil reserves to try to save what he can in the mid-terms.
