Not to jack the thread, but that's scary right there. Everyone knows German stuff is expensive, but often it's the sole source of the level of quality needed

So yoiu are saying America can't make a similar product.

You all are constant cranks.

"So yoiu are saying America can't make a similar product.

I'm not saying it, the free market does. Germany works in a high cost environment, taxes, six week paid vacations, huge GREENIE influence, the whole ball of wax.

Yet, they still are considered the 'go see guys' for certain chemicals & processes. There simply is no other source (for many of their products), hence the free market allows them to operate with their cost structure.

Nobody buys their output for prestige, it's the only game in town for some things.

And what's with this Buchannon stuff? I've never voted for him and I don't particularly care for his Mercedes driving self.
