Our government (under either party control) really needs to do away with the myriad of regulations and restrictions that prevent American Companies from manufacturing HERE!
Not wanting to start a rant - just need some common business sense for a change...
I would love to open a small manufacturing company in the USA, But with the over seas competion, its near impracticle. I currently own an Electronics Recycling plant in PA. we dis-assemble electronics and process the parts and materials for re entry into the manufacturing fields. We are in direct competion with the asian markets. We are also a ZERO EXPORT company. In fact, we are so comitted to not exporting, we incorporated the name, Zero Export Recycler's, LLC. If it were not for the Americans concern where this hazardous waste goes, i dont think I would be able to sustain my Plant, with the Chinese competion.
But, on the other end of the spectrum, manufacturing is a whole other ball game. Every one Complains about cheap chinese made crap, but the same ones complianing, dont have the financial ability or just dont want to spend MORE for products made right here in the US of A, espesially when the same thing (almost) is available for less, but is made over seas. So, its a catch 22 situation. RW
