You mean like the $28 billion in bailouts for farmers from Trump, or the proposed bailout of coal miner unions pensions estimated to cost $640 billion that was included in the budget for this year?
That's the Leftist media's biased angle. The real truth is that Trump used the extra revenue collected from the tariffs and returned it to the farmers and miners who were affected by the tariffs. The "bailouts" in this case did not cost the taxpayer anything, unlike Obama's big banks and automaker bailouts. That makes a lot of sense. Only your biased Leftist media would spin it as anything wrong and folks like you bought it up.
This deal is one of the defining moments of his presidency and shows his skills as a dealmaker. Now we need a China deal soon.
90% of this "deal" is what we already had in place. The rest is slight updates to reflect that the world has changed in the twenty years since NAFTA was put in place.

No. The new tariffs brought in $27 billion. Trump paid out $28 billion.
Automakers bailouts were loans, as were the bank bailouts. Both were paid back. The farm bailouts are not loans as far as I know.

Costs of that measure were estimated to be nearly $640 billion if it became law, and it faced mixed prospects in the Senate after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a study saying many of the affected pension plans would never repay their bailout loans.
But it was a smaller amount that was in the final bill. I still haven't found the final number.
If you happen to see it anywhere could you link it for me?
Includes labor union and environmental protections, and limits ability of corporations to sue government. Which pretty much covers what I didn’t like about NAFTA.

NAFTA light is the moniker mostly assigned.
Some in Canada have nicknamed it NAFTWO
