Let’s be honest.

With the cost of doing business in the US (environmental regulation, labor laws, taxes, etc) can you blame any company for going overseas trying to stay in business?

We build electronic circuit boards for GE Medical’s spares and repairs program in Wisconsin. We don’t get much business from them any more, but we shipped 5 boards to them in January and we didn’t get paid until June. They are going to be on COD if we ever get another order from them.

Two of the happiest days in my life were my first and last employed by GE. They’ve been buying business for decades. They get nailed by the government for bid rigging, pay a fine and start selling to the government again. They own politicians from both parties.
