NAFTA was Reagan's idea, and if you wish to claim that an "actual written document which defines a trade relationship with another country is a treaty" [emphasis added], according to the Federalists, why don't you reference which ones?

And who gives a hoot what word Bush used? Remember, "smaller" is "larger," right?

"NAFTA was Reagan's idea"

Whoops. Not quite correct but close. Reagan was in favor of a North American common market and reduced tariffs - BETWEEN CANADA AND THE US! Mexico was not a part and parcel and Reagan would have disagreed with that. In 1988, we had the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, NOT NAFTA.

GHW Bush was the NAFTA freak who brought Mexico in and that was so he could reward all his big-business buddies with cheap labor. NAFTA cancelled the US-Canada Agreement.
