Will we need to wait until next year to know which version of this story is true?

Come on Apple, make things in the USA with your $100 Billion in cash.

Again, insanely more complicated than that.

What's the incentive?

That's exactly the problem. Every big company is asking for a 'handout' before willing to move jobs back from overseas. Why can't these big companies, earning huge profits, just do it? 

I say the US should just cut all the military overseas, so these companies cannot get protection from the military and then they'll know the true cost of operating overseas. Then they'll know it's actually a BARGAIN to have plants here in the US. 

I had been wondering when the "denial" would come.

Uh, what? Do you really think that the ability of the US military to come knocking on the door a few minutes later REALLY has anything to do with companies and manufacturing?

Huge profits were made by farming out cheap labour overseas.

You'll never get Americans to work for so little, which means lower profit margins for companies. 

And if you think Apple products are priced high now, imagine what they'd be if they were built in America.
