Could they cost that damn much to produce here? Kind of deflating when I sit down and get handed my very own Chinese-made American flag.

Products should be made where production is most efficient. That is a core tenet of our economic system and has made our country a world leader. In fact, IMHO, if it's more efficient to produce American flags in China, it would actually be un-American to produce them here.
