Bush was attacking Reagan’s proposed tax cuts, not the proposed trade agreements. Specifically, he referred to the Laffer Curves (theory that tax cuts lead to more Federal revenue because of economic growth) as “voodoo economics.” Bush was an internationalist, so NAFTA-style trade deals along with liberal immigration policies were at the core of his agenda.

Look it up. NAFTA only existed because of Reagan personally bringing it up. And it was part of the economic package that Bush lambasted during the campaign.

NAFTA wasn't even from some adviser. Reagan personally came up with the idea.
