Tree Growers Infested With 'Stupid Bug'

You know about the emerald ash-borer.

Seems like Christmas-tree growers have their own destructive-bug infestation. It's called the "Stupid Bug."

The natural Christmas tree is wilting as a commodity, so the powers that be see the need for a tree fee throughout the country.

Yup. In order to promote sales of natural Christmas trees, the growers want to raise the price.

Even more laughable: they want the Gummint to "promote" use of natural Christmas trees.
