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

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

You certainly have never been able to work up any kind of response.

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?

Points you can't address. I'll give ya another chance:

“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%.”
So how do you explain that?

If you don't know, just say so.
