...trouble is, fucking oil companies are taking what should server as a bit of a surplus and selling it to China and everywhere else, for more profit, and hence raises OUR prices due to this artificially created shortage.
We should try to mandate that more domestically drawn oil is kept for domestic use!!
Even if I accepted your premise that once again it's simply price gouging oil companies at work (hint: it's not that simple), good luck writing law that mandates where "domestically drawn" oil is sold. It isn't going to happen.
