The Public Record
David Perdue is a Republican politician from Georgia who served as a United States Senator from 2015 to 2021. He was elected to the Senate after defeating incumbent Democrat Michelle Nunn in the 2014 election. During his time in office, Perdue focused on issues such as economic growth, job creation, and reducing government spending. He was a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
The number one crisis we have right now, in my mind, is our ability to fund our future unfunded liabilities.

By doing this, all we are doing is stealing from the future to make sure we do not have a problem for the next 18 years.
I would encourage the committee to look at the total responsibility we have to our taxpayers in terms of the total payment over the next 30 years.
We have got a crisis. This financial crisis, however you look at it, is out of control.
That gridlock is not going--I just do not see how we are going to solve this without growing the economy.
