The sad fact is that America's trade policy remained essentially unchanged as the presidency transitioned from Bush41 to Clinton.
We have been almost entirely governed by neo-liberals since the conclusion of WW2. Corporate power has not been substantively curtailed by any occupant of the Whitehouse (of either party) since FDR (though I have to give credit to both Nixon and Carter for at least pushing corp's toward better environmental policies, and Eisenhower's speech about the Military Industrial Complex at least opened some eyes).
Your point about the importance of debt in a neo-liberal system is also a good one.
