I agree, but part of the issue is that the end-customer has to be willing to pay more for on-shore production. Our labor costs are different and the fact is that most folks buy on PRICE first . . . instead of all other considerations.
As it currently stands, even if one is willing to pay more - there are too few options for on-shore produced products (almost across the board) - as price has been the driver of being competitive (and that is all of our faults!).
