Beyond Gotcha: The Mosquito Agenda

The Huffington Post — Coupled with the threat of losing health care benefits and declining or absent pensions, facts on the ground underscore the growing economic anxiety and "bitterness" felt by many American workers and their families. The time is ripe for some kind of new New Deal — but where will it come from?

Mosquito Agenda

Many owners of luxury homes put the keys into the mail box and drive to greener pastures. Universally, they neglect to drain their swimming pools.

Quickly, the mosquitoes use the pools as breeding spaces and soon the youngsters seek blood for nourishment. Thus, they can carry diseased blood to a radius of five miles to infect other creatures.

This is a boon for health professionals and emergency rooms. The municipalities must hire workers to destroy the insects, so the pesky critters are creating jobs.

How many businessmen can make that statement?
