Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Millions of American jobs are tied to imports."

"Our position is clear: The playing field should be level, the ground rules should be set, and all players should stick to the rules."

"We learned that lesson half a century ago when we tried to balance the trade deficit by erecting a tariff wall around the United States."

"The answer to our trade balance problem is not to close our markets, cut imports, or collapse trade."
