Strong, durable plants can be sprayed with a forceful stream of water to
dislodge aphids, ad libitum.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

Sounds like aphids. As Billy said hose off if the plant will stand it (they
cannot crawl back up and so will starve to death) or spray with a mild
insecticide such as pyrethrum.
