Everything is made in China because China has a glut of highly skilled
workers in the manufacturing trades, and since there are so many
people who need those jobs they work cheap. The US has no skilled
labor apprentiship programs anymore... once the present aging skilled
work force dies off it's really gonna be all over for the US... a
society cannot survive with all desk drivers/pencil pushers. Better
teach your grand children how to pick produce, mow lawns, and do
laundry.
