If Germany with its higher labor costs and more restrictive
enviromental and labor laws can do it, why can't the US?

"The trend towards offshoring production from Germany to other
countries is slowly being reversed, with medium-sized businesses
leading the way. In fact, Germany is itself becoming an
attractive location for foreign investment."

Sorry, but I don't see much German stuff being sold here. More likely that the quality of Chinese-made products will go up before the cost of German-made products goes down ... The big problem is that if you out-source any work you need to have some supervision in place while the work is being done. Any company that sits around eating shish-ke-bob and waits for the work to come back before checking is asking for trouble.



Hope you don't get run over by a Mercedes or a Rabbit.
