‘I trust Rubio’

Would you trust Sen. Marco Rubio with nation’s budget? Is that Carl Hiaasen’s conclusion in his June 14 column on Rubio’s ability to be our next president based on his fishing boat and the mortgage on his home?

You can bet that compared with President Obama placing us into $20 trillion of debt with no budget, which is more than all of the previous presidents combined, and Hillary Clinton’s hidden finances of her foundation, which leaves her beholded to many foreign governments, Rubio could not do worse.

Yeah, I trust him compared to what we got with Obama and what we will get from Clinton.
