If you are old enough to remember the 50's/60's Japan made nothing but crap. Cheap toys etc. (they always made a good sewing machine-a copy of the Singer 15) They learned to make it better and better and now the GOOD stuff comes from Japan. In the 70's Taiwan made the cheap crap. Now they have some good stuff to sell. It is a cycle and we are not the only ones caught in it. Electronic cameras come from Japan with Carl Ziess lenses (they use to be one of the best camera makers-from Germany).

I was in the bicycle business back in the early 80's-2005 and watched the japanese come in with junk but quickly take over the market. They were the inovators while we sat idle. There were a few american companies but they were for the rich folk.

I have worked for manufacturing companies here in the USA that produced crap! And I don't want to get into whenever insurance(especially va $$) was involved. Prices on the products were triple to 5X more then to the average Joe. These were custom/sport wheelchairs costing thousands.
