LOL! I was listening to NPR this AM and they were discussing the devaluation of the US dollar and it's effects on companies in the US.

In one particular example of a company that manufactures Ambulance alternators in Conneticut, this company had always outsourced is manufacturing to Europe, because it was cheaper labor and still had a well-made product. Now that the Euro has gained over the dollar, Europe's labor is more costly and the company has opened a plant in China because it's labor is cheaper...
