It would make sense to relieve the regulatory burden on our trucks if they are expected to compete with Mexico’s largely unregulated trucking industry.
This is one of the problems with “free trade” as it is currently practiced, we still have very old laws regulating our industries, and our competition does not face that same barrier to entry into our markets.
If you buy into the democratic conspiracy theory, that was the goal of Reagan-GOP-Federalist Society-VRWC.
The VRWC would include the anti-regulatory provisions in the investor protections in NAFTA, then CAFTA, and eventually FTAA.
After that was accomplished, and you have one set of regulatory laws for the hemisphere and one set of regulatory laws for the US, then a SCOTUS composed of Federalists(appointed by GOP presidents) would rule that US regulatory law was un-constitutional.
Whereas the GOP-VRWC would never be able to legislatively undo all the regulatory laws that the dems have put in place, a GOP-VRWC SCOTUS could, in one ruling.
