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?
You didn’t provide any quotes from either Reagan’s version or Clinton’s version.
Fail.
I remember thinking to myself, that doesn't sound right, but before I found out the real story they were long gone and hunting their next bourgeois capitalist.
