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

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?

What were the average tariffs when Reagan entered office and when he left office?

If you don't know, just say so.

You're confused. I did respond.

So how do you explain that?

How do I explain facts? Probably the same way you do. So what do these facts prove to you?
