It's because we want CHEAP parts, and that's how you get cheap parts, produce them overseas where labor is cheap.

Good and fair points. I think in a perfect world there would be an equal distribution of work available here in the country and work out overseas. This would still allow cheaper parts, maybe not as cheap as they are currently but would still allow manageable pricing. It would also allow for good amount of job availability here to the people. It would also boost parts quality as well because it would force higher standards to maintain a predictable level of quality instead of the guessing game you get right now that could fail right out of the box. At least, you would think it would.
