The way I see it, if we allow exports then the money will go to the US Treasury. The Obama government will have all this money to spend on his communist and homosexual agenda. Our taxes, of course will never go down. Better to deprive the regime of any money. Starve the beast. Go Gault.
Yes of course, it would be better to drive down US production so OPEC can pick up the slack and we fund their governments instead. < /sarc>
