Ronald Reagan actually said...

"America's prosperity depends as never before on our ability to compete in international markets."

"No, the way to promote worldwide prosperity is not to erect barriers, but to bring them down; not to decrease international trade, but to expand it."

"Aggressive exporters in our business community are calling today's trading climate an opportunity for a 'renaissance in American competitiveness.'"

"We need to increase our exports to further strengthen our economy."
