Not just because Obama wants to use the EPA to force power plants to abide by even tougher emission standards in the name of fighting "climate change," but because 2,700 people die every day of malaria throughout the world because Nixon's newly-formed EPA banned DDT in 1972 and other countries followed America's lead. If this article from the New American ("DDT Ban Breeds Death (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/15583-ddt-breeds-death)") doesn't make you despise the EPA even more then nothing will. And I did not realize that Rachel Carson was a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

DDT Ban Breeds Death (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/15583-ddt-breeds-death)


A 1972 insecticide ban on DDT literally causes the deaths of about a million people per year, though an extensive investigation by the U.S. EPA found that DDT is safe.

Greenies love that the banning of DDT has led to countless millions of deaths, since after all they hate humanity.

The origins of the cdc was formed to eradicate malaria in the U.S. They spread DDT over the south
The Communicable Diseases Center was founded July 1, 1946 as the successor to the World War II Malaria Control in War Areas program[4] of Office of National Defense Malaria Control Activities.[5] Preceding its founding, organizations with global influence in malaria control were the Malaria Commission of the League of Nations and the Rockefeller Foundation.[6] The Rockefeller Foundation greatly supported malaria control,[6] sought to have the governments take over some of its efforts, and collaborated with the agency.[7]

The new agency was a branch of the U.S. Public Health Service and Atlanta was chosen as the location because malaria was endemic in the Southern United States. The agency changed names (see infobox on top right) before adopting the name Communicable Disease Center in 1946. Offices were located on the sixth floor of the Volunteer Building on Peachtree Street. With a budget at the time of about $1 million, 59 percent of its personnel were engaged in mosquito abatement and habitat control with the objective of control and eradication of malaria in the United States[8] (see National Malaria Eradication Program). Among its 369 employees, the main jobs at CDC were originally entomology and engineering. In CDC's initial years, more than six and a half million homes were sprayed, mostly with DDT. In 1946, there were only seven medical officers on duty and an early organization chart was drawn, somewhat fancifully, in the shape of a mosquito.
