So who's to blame? If we had the planes built in the USA they would cost atleast double, atleast! maybe 3 times. We want good quality at a cheap price so that leaves building the planes in the USA out of the question.

why are they so cheap coming from China? Because the people will work for 25 cent an hour in poor conditions, work there is a privledge, work comes bofore family in Asia. The people are willing to live in squaller barely surviving. they eat chickens and pigs they raise, snails, snakes and basically anything that slithers crawls or jumps. Our standard of living is so much higher it's not even comparable. They are in a sense our work slaves. (this time we were crafty enough to leave them working in their own country) I'll say no more about that.

If you build something nice, and your making money, you better make it fast because it will be duplicated. It's what we Americans want, we demand it! Cheap prices and quality. If we had to pay 2 or 3 times the price for this plane, electornics, cloths ect.... it would take money from our budgets that we would normally use to buy new cars, go out to eat, airconditioning our plush homes, fancy food, trips to walmart and don't forget that new car for the son or daughter on their 16th birthday.
