I'm not the one trying to prove something about Reagan on this thread, what were you trying to prove again?

I'm loving the rat like terror you're exuding.

Do you have those numbers or not?

I'm thinking that he thinks there's some sort of a dispute about that "average tariffs" number. Problem is, I don't see anyone disputing it. He just doesn't realize that it fails to prove what he thinks it does.

I could argue that the merchandise goods trade deficit was higher when Reagan left office than when he entered, also. No one is stupid enough to argue that Reagan was a failure for that reason (though you'd think a protectionist might try).
