If one wants to buy an American football that is made in America, then one has to pay over $85 for one. All the common folk Wilson, Rawlings, Spalding, etc. are made in China which bugs me because I like to give American footballs to visiting foreigners and I hate to see that all of them at popular prices are made in China.

So what would you do?
You could add tariffs, so all the balls were expensive.
You could ban Chinese imports, so all the balls were expensive.
You could support price regulations, which would drive American manufacturers out of business, and all balls would be expensive.
You could vote to cease all redistribution of tax plunder, in which case you would be able to buy American products at low prices.
You choose: do you want welfare, or inexpensive American products; do you want food stamps, or inexpensive American products; do you want thousands of high priced bureaucratic jobs for incompetent bums, or inexpensive American products.
Tough choice, eh?
I saw a video of the Wilson factory which is the only company making footballs in the US ... when did they outsource to China?
The problem really is there’s only 1 factory on the planet that makes official NFL footballs. Those would be the $85 American made ones. All the rest are knockoffs, which means they come from China the land of knockoffs.
