I work for a plant that makes castings for John Deere and we lost 30% of our JD parts last year to China. Deere has been courting china for years thinking they will be a big market...unfortunately they don't buy from USA, they only make parts to dump on the US market. In the last year or two the big sucking sound has been from China and India, not Mexico. No we can't compete with a country that does not know what decent wages or pollution control means. Sorry for the rant, but we will soon be selling nothing but software and fast food unless this trend is slowed or stopped.
