Rubio really isn't all that bad on domestic spending issues. It's just foreign policy issues he's horrible on.

The only reason he votes that way is to mirror Rand, it's not because he has any consistent limited gov philosophy

Rubio really isn't all that bad on domestic spending issues. It's just foreign policy issues he's horrible on.He was in favor of cap and trade but now says he's against it. There's a lot of things where he's bad on spending issues though.
