Is hell freezing over, Mr. Perdue?

Chamblee, GA, April 11, 2017 by Trey Benton


According to Georgia Republican U.S. Senator David Perdue, when Republicans had the White House, Senate and the House from 2000 to 2006, they didn’t fix the healthcare problems the country had – Transportability, Affordability and Accessibility. “Obamacare at least tried to fix that,” Perdue told to some 260 attendees during a DeKalb and Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce combo-event Tuesday.

Perdue said the recent attempt to introduce an Obamacare replacement bill that effectively left Democrats out of the conversation, proves his point Democrats and Republicans must work together to solve the complex healthcare issue moving forward. He said polarization is one of the great threats to solving a problem. “I believe there’s no danger to finding a compromise solution,” said Perdue.

If the Republicans don't fix it, then it could a bad year. Of course it assumes that the voter suppression, fraud, etc. doesn't make the country a defacto one party state.
