Sorry, you have Reagan backwards. He is the one who started the negotiations for NAFTA. In response to calls for retaliatory tariffs he said the following during a radio address, November 20, 1982, "If one partner shoots a hole in the bottom of the boat, does it make sense for the other partner to shoot another hole in the boat." He graduated with a degree in economics, and had a fundamental understanding of liberty and same that you haven't yet achieved. "America's open market is its strength, not its weakness." America's economic resurgence was consequence of his slashing taxes. GWB's tax cuts are appreciated, but piddling in comparison. Furthermore, relief isn't happening at the state level, while expenditures are much greater than they were in the 80's.
