Why not a basic but inexpensive American mount?

I've heard all the horror stories about the Chinese junk mounts
that all mass-market telescope makers now sell. I've also listened
to the growing concern over "job exports" to the Far East, India, etc.
Notice you never heard much about it until it hit the white collar
establishment? Anyway, I'm wondering if it would be so hard, given
CNC
machining is used thoughout, to produce a medium sized American GEM
that
would not cost a fortune? It's obvious from all the problems that the
Chinese or whoever have not got their act together and that their
production
line tolerances are too slack.
So, between a Losmandy and a Chinese made G6 there must be a middle
ground. Where someone could buy a mount that would support things
like
the 5" and 6" refractors AND would work properly without practically
remanufacturing them, or trouble-shooting the electronics?
