To be fair, that's _one_ of the two libertarian/conservative arguments. The other is that it's much, much better to make sure that the government must not have the _power_ to control these things, because if they do, they will put it to bad use. If the government can control gasoline allocations, then only the friends of the people in power will get gasoline, and this is A Bad Thing.
