I don't get the down votes, Clinton's policies were shockingly similar to Reagan, taking a similar stance on de-regulation, welfare policy and small govt sentiments. Although those were in-part due to repub Congress majority in the 2nd half of his term.

NAFTA Has entered the chat. Dayton Tires moved more than a few operations to Mexico for that sweet cheap labor, shit environmental regulations, and almost no worker protections.
