Sen. Marco Rubio on "Face the Nation": It's the debt, stupid!!

Concerning the debt limit debate, Rubio says: "The real problem here is not the debt limit, it's the debt.....and it's not just me saying this, it's the rating houses saying it"!

Senator Rubio refers to the following article S& P report which vindicates "House “Cut, Cap, and Balance” plan as mentioned at the Washington Examiner on 7/16/2011:

Standard & Poor’s issued a dire warning this week stating a 50 percent likelihood that the nation’s gold-plated Triple-A credit rating will be downgraded in the next 90 days. Not because of any failure to increase the debt ceiling, but because it appears there will be no longer-term plan that substantially reduces the deficit.  Source: http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/2011/07/sp-report-vindicates-house-cut-cap-and-balance-plan#ixzz1SOKqxJUv

President Obama, are you listening to the fiscally responsible people in the room?

Tax Hikes Now for Promises to Cut Spending Later?

On Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Rep. Jim Jordan said the following:

"The spending cuts are in the out-years. The tax increases are going to come soon. This is the old cliché, this is Lucy and Charlie Brown and the football. And the American people say, 'We're not falling for that game anymore. We're not going to let you promise spending cuts later to raise taxes now.' If these tax things are so bad that Chris [Van Hollen] talks about, well the Democrats just controlled all of government eight months ago. Why in the world didn't they get rid of them?"
