To say NAFTA is exactly as Reagan would have wanted it is hogwash.

Well, there ya' go again, to coin a phrase. Let's stick to the facts. Reagan negotiated and signed a free trade agreement with Canada. He is on record with his intention to expand it to Mexico. In order to claim in anything more than a namby-pamby fashion that "NAFTA is not how Reagan would have wanted it" one must compare the two trade agreements and see where they differ, and then surmise that those material differences would have been "unwanted" by Reagan himself. In the decades that have followed, I have yet to see anyone make that argument. Heck, nobody has ever bothered to even look.

In other words, the notion that Reagan would disapprove of NAFTA simply is an article of faith with some people . . . and I should add usually is found with people who do not know that NAFTA was Reagan's idea in the first place.

The difference between an idiot like you and Ronald Reagan is he could acknowledge a mistake, learn from it and reverse course. He want a mule headed fool like you. it isn’t 1994 anymore you have no excuse for your stupidity.
