#1 Why can't GOP tackle both?

#2 And the GOP should take advice from a Democrat why?

#3 Isn't it funny how everyone suddenly wants to talk about Opoid addiction, which wasn't (to the powers that be) a noteworthy problem until the working class in the Northeast voted the wrong way?

#4 Curing the opioid addiction problem? Big Pharma is not going to like this.

#5 TSM, lots and lots of people noted the opioid addiction problem this past decade. Just that no one bothered to listen until now. Don't know if the election has anything to do with it or whether it's just reached critical mass.

#6 Probably both Steve. Recently, I heard or read (maybe here) that opiate overdose has surpassed automotive deaths. When you mention this to people, most mention someone they know who has died of an overdose or someone who has a serious drug problem.

#7 It wasn't an opiate problem until the Obamacare audits began.

#8 It's a real problem BUT the way it's discussed, especially in this case by Manchin, is trolling.

Manchin never said Obama should fix the Crack Problem In The Inner City before remaking the American Health System to begin with.
