You won't find any affordable bicycles that are made in the USA. You also won't find many high-end bikes made in the USA. Most of them are made overseas (though not all out of China).
There are many American bicycle companies - but most of the bikes they make are made elsewhere.
So basically - you can get an affordable bike made in China, or pay about what you'd pay for a used car for some other bike also made outside of the USA.
As for sizing, at 5'6" you'd probably be fine with a 26" bike. The seat is adjustable, and cruisers come in different styles - one of which has a steep drop on the crossbar toward the pedals. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, you might want to look into that dropped-crossbar design.

The point I'm trying to make is there are none available. Huffy makes a men's bike with 24" wheels that is sized for me but they are not available anywhere that I can find, Amazon for example has only 20" or 26" available, one too small and one too large. It don't have a problem with a Huffy or Schwinn or Kent, new or used, just can't find the right size. There are 26" bikes make with lower cross bars but again can't find any that are available.
