NAFTA was Reagan’s idea. It’s just that some protectionists have selective memories.

Uh...no. Reagan's idea was "trade that is free, open, and fair".....which is nowhere near what we have in NAFTA. To attempt to blame Reagan for the disaster that is NAFTA is like blaming Bill Clinton for balancing the budget. It's asinine.

Uh...no. Reagan never repudiated NAFTA for those reasons you specify, they are merely a fabrication by the True Conservative™ Left in order to portray him as a protectionist. I invite you to provide any corroborating evidence you have, as I have researched this issue to the bone, and have never found anything near to what you are claiming.

Frankly, it sounds like the typical child's lamentation: "it's not fair!"
