The government telling businesses what they can and cannot export sounds like socialism. I guess it's a good thing Republicans can't tell socialism from communism from Marxism from capitalism.

The party of freedom, property rights, and limited government. I realize Trump and his GOP puppets in congress caused this problem, but still.

What Treasury Secretary Not Telling You Yes, U.S. can stop diesel exports, but then bigger problem of storage may occur! U.S. has limited storage for diesel fuel. Halting exports could exceed storage supply causing refineries to lower production making an even worst problem. 🤔 tinyurl.com/5ecv5r8c

In other words, like everything the Trump admin does, they haven't thought this through?
