I would think with the price of copper and brass, the super cheap Chinese aluminum radiators, along with so many these days having plastic tanks. Now let's add the cost of labor, medical benefits, pollution laws etc, etc in the USA and it's no wonder. Don't get me wrong, decent pay is important and an individual medical insurance payment can be near a grand per month. We just can't compete with countries that don't do all that for their people.
