Rubio is interviewed by FoxNews and makes the case for Obama's direct influence, extending the current recessionary crisis.

Marco Rubio,  one of my top three choices for president,  much less the VP pick, appeared on the Chris Wallace Sunday FoxNews program , and was asked to give two examples of  influences working against jobs creation, in this country: 

Rubio offered up three choices, instead.  I have taken the opportunity to expand on his three basic points:  

First,  according to Senator Rubio,   we have the 5 trillion dollars added to the national debt under Obama.  With nothing but more debt looming on the horizon,  investors have shied away from this precarious circumstance.  Obama only offers more of the same and "makes no bones about it."  He is proud of his tax and spend policy for the next four years and is campaigning of this issue.  "I will give money to the student population if they vote for me." "I will give free contraception to all women,  if they vote for me."  I will not allow anyone to save Medicare if seniors vote for me."  "I will give low cost housing to the poor blacks if they vote for me,"  "I will give free education to all illegal immigrants,  if they vote me" (you think they don't vote?),    "I will build more 120,000 dollar luxury electric cars like the Fisker/Karma, if the green energy world will vote for me."  "I will favor all banking institutions who support my candidacy" and on and on.  

Secondly,  there is great concern about the burgeoning tax code.  Beginning in 2013,  the Obama Administration will raise $400 billion in new taxes, much of it on the back of the business community.  Understand that when Obama speaks of taxing those making $200,000 or more,  he is talking about taxing those businesses  creating nearly 80% of all jobs in this country.  Taxes paid to the government, translate into dollars taken from the economy for wage increases and taxes paid on those wages. Higher taxes translate into less inventory for domestic sales and foreign export.  Increased taxation means fewer dollars for employee benefits and the upward mobility of the working middle class. But,  somehow,  Obama thinks his tax and spend policy will benefit the nation as a whole.  To date,  he has failed,  miserably,  in demonstrating his theory.   

As a third negative influence weighing down the current recovery,  is the 25% increase in regulatory content, added by Obama, alone,  during the past four years.  He has doubled the cost of regulatory compliance from 1 trillion per year, to 2 trillion and this number is scheduled for more increases should he win re-election.  The cost of regulatory compliance has the same effect as tax increases.  Business dollars spent on compliance is money taken from the hard working middle class for wage increases and overtime pay but Obama no longer has the working middle class or true "upward mobility" listed as a high priority.  His version of environmental protection and wealth redistribution are the more critical concerns.  No wonder,  we continue to languish in the mire of recessionary paralysis.  Every dollar he spends,  every regulation he puts into force,  every time spent by business paying increased taxes,  work against middle class advancement, job creation and an expanding GDP  --  money demanded by the government is a direct assault against all that needs to be done for the sake of this recovery.
