I never even dreamed that a.) it would come from China (dumb, I know); and b.) that Gypsum Board (the real name for drywall) would be made of anything besides GYPSUM!!! This is SO maddening! Jean-- BWAHAHAHAHA!!! That is SO TRUE! and SO depressing. :-p Lynne– I bought drywall during those years, and I don’t ever remember seeing any country of origin anywhere.

" As the Chinese now own a good portion of the USA, not to mention most of our T-bills, I don't think we can call it importation.

I really think these imports from China need to be curtailed until their manufacturing methods and materials meet quality standards we expect here in the U.S. What a disaster!
