US Senate candidate Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) held a joint press conference by phone with Sen. George LeMieux (R-Fla.) on Tuesday, saying Florida has “suffered greatly because of job losses” during the country’s economic downturn. LeMieux implied that big government is part of the problem, “creating thousands of pages of new federal programs that are job killers.”
LeMieux also said government is creating “such uncertainty businesses can’t hire people.” Business owners don’t know what the next mandate or regulation or new tax will be. “Eighteen months ago,” he said, “this administration said 3 ½ million new jobs would be created by August, 2010.” That didn’t happen. “Florida was 50 out of 50 in Stimulus dollars received.”
