As an alternative, a two tier pricing scale could be established.

Exports are priced at the world maarket level.

Domestic sales are priced at the cost + overhead and profit within the 50 states as normal commerce

How many apparatchiks do you estimate we need to hire at the new Bureau of Domestic Fuel Price Determination, comrade?

It’d be better to limit some exports, see how the market reacts, and readjust the limits. See my post above.

Direct price controls would not only be even MORE socialist, they’d almost certainly be just as disastrous as in the past.

Nixon, in most ways outside of Watergate, was a VERY smart guy, and even he botched that one royally. (Which he later, to his credit, admitted.)
