In some areas, I'll grant you. Electronics, cars....

 

But have you ever used the cheapo tool sets they make in China? I'd rather buy a quality Husky set (I did and they're friggin great) or Snap-on and never have worry again about stripping my sockets b/c they're made of cheapo alumo-steel. Same goes with the screws coming out of Japan. One really good thing Bush did was the steel import tarriffs, and then he dropped them. <_<

I really didn't mean China. For anything.

 

I can't speak for Japanese screws but the I recently purchased my first import vehicle and the quality difference from a similarly equipped American SUV is staggering.

good " :D " ..... a convoluted moment on my part. Pension funding holidays were negotiated by corporations, I believe, without ever any intention of paying them. Unfunded liabilities don't look too good, but you and I will be paying for them soon, as Darin noted.
