Rubio Statement On Senate Debt Deal

Issues: Government Operations Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement on the Senate debt deal:

"This debate has never been about whether to have an open federal government, but about whether we are going to fix it so that it stops spending more money than it takes in. To save the American Dream, we need decisive action to create millions of middle class jobs and stop Washington politicians from wasting taxpayers' money on a government we can't afford.

"I cannot support this deal because it postpones any significant action on pro-growth and spending reforms and does nothing to provide working class Americans even one shred of relief from ObamaCare's harmful effects.

"Until we tackle the real threats to the American Dream, we are going to continue finding ourselves in these kinds of messes. America is better than this, and the American people deserve better."
