The reality that people won't acknowledge is that you can get the same quality from manufacturing facilities in the USA, Mexico, or China. It is simply a matter of what you are paying for the part and how the process and control plans are setup and executed. I have seen complete crap come from USA plants in every corner of the country, we aren't as unique as some would like to think in this regard. Quality costs, it's universal. The clever guy figures out how to produce with acceptable quality while still staying in business.
