Sulfur gasses from Chinese-made drywall has created a nightmare for thousands of homeowners, and government officials now admit that it can trigger respiratory problems, corrode wiring, and cause refrigerators, air conditioners and other electronic products to fail. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the only way to fix the problem is to remove all drywall and wiring from the house. But who will pay?

HOT COMMENTARY:
Tainted drywall is a difficult and expensive problem with much finger pointing but little accountability or relief for homeowners. Manufacturers selling tainted drywall got paid for it. Suppliers made money from the sale to builders and general contractors, who then profitted from the construction and home sale. Realtors made commissions. Insurance companies told policies that excluded Chinese Drywall. And lenders still insistent that mortgage payments are on made on time. So why is the homeowner forced to sue for damages while the others take their money and run? This problem is destroying the American Dream for many families.
