WTF RUBIO: "I thought we probably went too far on (helping) corporations."


Q: You voted for the tax bill after winning a key concession on the Child Tax Credit. Your view of the overall bill the president just signed into law?

A: If I were king for a day, this tax bill would have looked different. I thought we probably went too far on (helping) corporations. By and large, you’re going to see a lot of these multinationals buy back shares to drive up the price. Some of them will be forced, because they’re sitting on historic levels of cash, to pay out dividends to shareholders. That isn’t going to create dramatic economic growth. (But) there’s a lot of things in the bill that I have supported for a long time (such as) doubling the Child Tax Credit. And it is better – significantly better – than the current code.

$120 billion isn't enough! Got to make $190 billion! And that's not enough! The CEO needs a yacht the size of a small city!

Lil Marco (as Trump used to call him) is a Trump lap dog who will vote yes for every piece of right wing bill that is shoved out by Mitch or any Republican. Constituent needs be damned. And they vote him and again and again.
