OK, so your position on trade is non-existent; however you DO hold that Reagan used trade tariffs selectively. Is that correct?

You hold no position - pro or con - about tariffs. But you hold that Reagan chose to use them to manage trade.

Nope. Congress should exercise its Constitutional right and responsibility to regulate foreign trade using the tools that are most appropriate for the circumstances and which best serve the economic interests of the United States. The President, to the extent that he has been granted powers over foreign trade or where he is capable of influencing congressional legislation, should put America's interests first.

Putting our economy on a "free trade" autopilot would be an abdication of those responsibilities.

I would hold that a one size fits all solution to trade questions is a poor approach.
