Just happened to stumble across this article this morning. If this is actually happening (which all economics point to it actually having to happen) this would be some of the best news for us since they started doing this crap in the 90's.
Let's not get political here, but this move would open up jobs for Americans and start boosting the economy again, AND quality of parts should and could improve tenfold. Seems like a big win for me.

It's kind of a win-lose scenario that you always get with manufacturing. Yes bringing this production back to the states would be good because it would create jobs and (in theory) improve quality of these parts, but the downside is the pricing would increase considerably. For some things most people would be fine paying that premium but you have to think there's a reason this production got shipped overseas in the first place... It's because we want CHEAP parts, and that's how you get cheap parts, produce them overseas where labor is cheap.
