The problem we have is that tariffs would have been much more in the interests of the U.S. then. It would have kept our middle class. Reagan was only building the legislative support for NAFTA which Bush 41 would further build and Clinton would sign into law.
I prefer tearing down any halo of Reagan’s.
He doesn’t deserve one.

@Pfuzylogic Agreed esp. with the last.
Protectionism only makes sense for baseline musts, if needed: food, energy.
There are people here who don't understand that the US is a net energy EXPORTER...

I will never understand the unending love of this man. He initiated the destruction of union protection of workers, he orchestrated the Iran contra fiasco, why then was he so correct in regard tariffs and such a predictor of current events. Look at the subsidy payments to farmers in some states, look at the inflationary spiral that is getting worse by the day, by the tariffs. Reagan called it all out 40 years in advance.
