The banning of DDT has inflicted so much damage in the world, from extinct trees to bedbug outbreaks to millions of Malaria dead around the world.

And yet here in Pittsburgh the Democrats can’t stop naming things after Rachel Carson.

They have a wildlife preserve up in Maine named after Rachel Carson, and every time I drive by I grit my teeth.

Lots to blame for Rachel Carson and her DDT ban, but from what I've read bed bug outbreaks now aren't on that list. Supposedly they were becoming widely resistant to DDT prior to the ban. The alleged real perp for the current bed bug problems is Clinton, whose EPA banned a couple other pesticides which worked better against them than anything left available. So please donate your spare bedbugs to the Clintons' foundations.
