This is what you said: Well my friend, I will bet you all of your assets that the Republican Party wanted to abandon NAFTA and Mexico during the Mexican monetary crisis of 1995 and that Clinton and Clinton alone acted using executive privilege to bail them out at that time despite no support from the Dems or Republicans....... However, the issue was not over NAFTA, which the GOP had agreed to, nor was it a matter of abandonment, but disagreements over subsidy versus letting market forces play themselves out. Additionally, the Republican leadership supported Clinton, so it is not true that there was NO support from the Republicans. When Mexico paid off in full plus a 500 million profit to the US a few years later, the Republicans never even acknowledged that Clinton was correct and that they should have backed him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are the facts, please dispute them! I cannot recall whether there were any formal acknowledgment of the fact that Mexico did not default, but since there were Republicans who backed him, there was no special attempt to ignore or hide it either.
