Marco Rubio Talks National Defense, Debt To WJXT Jacksonville

when the most closely followed races is that for you etcetera Marco Rubio is a Republican front runner and he's been in the headlines for welcoming president Obama to Florida yesterday some

kind of harsh words good morning to you Marco Rubio yeah you said that America is headed I'm gonna quote here to eight Greece

like day of reckoning something's not thought about the financial situation do you really believe that we might be headed down the hill judges

no doubt our government spends more money than a Texan art that is unsustainable even Obama president Obama's only visor saying and

something has to be done about it we we sell that this country sells bonds on the market and %HESITATION increasingly people going to start to get nervous about our ability to pay her back her interest rates are gonna go up on it none

of this is disputed I think even the administration what admitted that is unsustainable unfortunate one in Washington has a real plan on how to solve why

headed down that road and again that terminology agrees like their wreck means basically our government reaches a point where no one wants to buy your dad and

they are willing to buy that much higher rates of return higher interest rates which is bad for our economy and we actually have the star borrowing money just to pay the what

do you think America needs to do to get on the right track financially sings Annie's number one rapid growth in our common which

means our government Washington DC has to stop injecting uncertainty into the car with threats of higher taxes energy

taxes this healthcare bill carjack cap and trade except the second thing that needs to happen and they both need to is we need some fiscal spending constraint in Washington DC that means a balanced budget amendment Debbie

not means banning the practice of earmark these things have to happen and they both have to happen I can't be one and not the other they

people would say also that we are heavily involved in two wars over one of them it seems like maybe winding down I would ask your thoughts about Iraq

less combat brigade US combat for great joy left Iraq only about what fifty thousand more U. S. troops in that country do

you believe that that was the right move for this country and for well I think obviously the people on the ground making that determination it wasn't some arbitrary %HESITATION

Iraq have been lost while he was wrong we need to be grateful to President Bush and together with god general betray let

that maybe the powers that be are in that region meeting Iran may overtake the

balance of power that America helped create an array well obviously we have to keep an eye on that Marik is gonna have a continuing involvement obviously

Iraq is going to be our ally in the region we hope it'll grow to be a strong and stable nation state and that's why the Iran problem so serious and why they must be content and

that's why US policy towards Iran has to be a priority in our foreign policy Arthur issues that we're looking at for Afghanistan would you vote on bills that come up in Congress to continue funding that were there that

were looking for was not a war of choice is not something we wish it happened we wish that conflict and long ago but even president Obama campaign on

the notion that Iraq Afghanistan was a place we had to win and I agree it's a place we have to win I disagree with the president however on his timetable that he's established and I agree with general Petraeus we should have an

artificial timetable we should be providing security in Afghanistan so that that nation can take over its own role like you see happening in

Iraq that's what we want to see happen in Afghanistan and lot of people I think would agree with you but then you take a think about the trivia Paul

this is taking on our American families this but and I know it's tragic and painful no one likes what is nothing pleasant about on
