Palm Beach Post: In Palm Beach, Rubio blasts Obama’s budget
PALM BEACH — U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio bashed President Obama’s $3.73 trillion budget as an irresponsible proposal that could create a “vicious debt spiral” by next year.
“His budget, if we follow it through, grows the debt astronomically over the next 10 to 12 years and bankrupts our country,” Rubio told reporters at a stop in Palm Beach today.
