I believe undervalued (controlled by the communists)currency is one of the other factors. I bought a large W. Rose mortar trowel for rock work, made in Sharon Hill, PA for $42.00. Two weeks later I saw a Chinese copy in a cheap tool store, same weight and size for $6.00. I'm still glad I got the made in USA tool, but wonder how long can our 200 yr+ companies continue with such a disadvantage? How on earth can they keep hiring any new guys?
