What were the percentage of imported goods that were protected by special tariffs, quotas, or other types of restraints during the Reagan presidency?

Oh,yeah, Here's the answer:

“Of the $387 billion in goods the U.S. imported in 1986, more than 20% was protected by special tariffs, quotas, or other types of restraints, according to Gary C. Hufbauer, a Georgetown University professor. When Reagan took office, the figure was 12%.”

I guess you just deliberately forgot. You certainly have never been able to work up any kind of response.

Also, what were the average tariffs when Reagan entered office and when he left office? You've repeatedly tried to insinuate that those numbers support you, but you won't produce them. Maybe because you're blowing smoke.

I know what they were, answers to a question I didn't ask.

Response?

Also, what were the average tariffs when Reagan entered office and when he left office?

I remember that, that was my question that you didn't answer.

You've repeatedly tried to insinuate

I did? Where, specifically?

that those numbers support you

Support me what? Where?

Mojave,

I think you got things backwards; please see this post in which Toddsterpatriot asked:

What is your position on average tariffs when Reagan entered office and when he left office? After 2 terms, were they higher or lower? ?

You never answered that question, but answered about the NUMBER of tariffs in place (which is irrelevant as I have subsequently shown).

Now you are demanding that Toddsterpatriot answer his own question because you answered one he did not ask.

I'd be interested to see your answer to the original question which you claim you weren't asked...
