They never got this excited over Kudzu....................... I remember when kudzu was a "southern thing". I live in central Illinois and it creeps up the west side of my house.

Originally a Japanese problem. Wonder how it got here? Probably the same way as pythons in the Everglades.

FDR .........

From Wiki:

Kudzu was introduced from Japan into the United States in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, where it was promoted as a forage crop and an ornamental plant. From 1935 to the early 1950s, the Soil Conservation Service encouraged farmers in the southeastern United States to plant kudzu to reduce soil erosion. The Civilian Conservation Corps planted it widely for many years.

Another Democratic screw-up...........
