I don’t see any problem with this what so ever. Before the Neo-Cons start squawking about Reagan, it is important to remember that Reagan was no free trader. He was a protectionist and used voluntary import quotas and tariffs to cajole foreign car makers to move their production to the U.S. the entire Southern auto industry along with Ohio Honda are a direct result of Reagan protectionism.
That’s literally true. Japanese dumping was hurting us badly at the time, at least that’s what we were being told. There is a possibility that Japanese people didn’t WANT the pieces of sh!t being produced by the American Big 3 at the time. Wonder why I never thought about that before.
