Funny, both had free trade as their foundation.

I'll call your empty bluff. Prove it. Quotes, please.

By the way, Obama is promising even more changes to the evolving NAFTA agreement to incorporate additional labor and environmental provisions. Is "free trade" the foundation of Obama's position, like you claim it was for Bill Clinton?

You have some nerve calling on others to “prove” something. LOL

I will shed light on your ignorance. Please read and learn.

At his heart, Reagan was about personal and economic freedom. That includes free trade. In fact, look at the multitude of links between Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman; Reagan not only was influenced by Friedman, but actually appointed him to a role in his administration, and re-appointed Paul Volcker as Fed chair (Volcker being a Friedman economist).

There is NO DOUBT that Milton Friedman - the man who's economic theories were the foundation for Reagan - was an unabashed supporter of Free Trade and NAFTA. If Reagan was so anti-free-trade, why use the economics of Friedman? Why keep Volcker around?

Now that I’ve answered your question and challenge, you answer one of mine:

Which is more American: the Honda built in Ohio, or the Ford built in Canada? The BMW built in Georgia, or the Chevy built in Mexico?

I have yet to have a single one of you isolationists answer that question, or even attempt to acknowledge it. Go ahead, please!
