Apparently marco rubio cant keep his own personal debt in line and now he wants to talk about our national debt problem.
Marco Rubio debt, loans, credit
If youre not a fiscal conservative in your personal life, how are we supposed to listen to pandering about cutting back and living within our national means?

what a moron
I agree, what kind of moron buys an 80,000$ boat immediayely after recieving relief for hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt?For years, Senator Marco Rubio struggled under the weight of student debt, mortgages and an extra loan against the value of his home totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. But in 2012, financial salvation seemed to have arrived: A publisher paid him $800,000 to write a book about growing up as the son of Cuban immigrants.
In speeches, Mr. Rubio, a Florida Republican, spoke of his prudent plan for using the cash to finally pay off his law school loans, expressing relief that he no longer owed “a lady named Sallie Mae,” as he once called the lender.
But at the same time, he splurged on an extravagant purchase: $80,000 for a luxury speedboat, state records show. At the time, Mr. Rubio confided to a friend that it was a potentially inadvisable outlay that he could not resist. The 24-foot boat, he said, fulfilled a dream.
liquidating retirement account and incurring huge taxes and fees?A few weeks ago, he disclosed that he had liquidated a $68,000 retirement account, a move that is widely discouraged by financial experts and that probably cost him about $24,000 in taxes and penalties.
In the past week, he sustained a new loss when he sold his second home in Florida’s capital, Tallahassee, for $18,000 less than he and a friend paid for it a decade ago. The house had previously faced foreclosure after Mr. Rubio and his friend failed to make mortgage payments for five months.
The Rubios have taken steps to stabilize their finances in recent years, aided primarily by proceeds from his two books. Since 2012, they have put away at least $150,000, given $60,000 to charity and refinanced the mortgage on their primary home to lower the monthly payments. (Mr. Rubio set up college funds for his four children at birth, an aide said.)
As the race heats up for the White House, new attention is being paid to questions raised about the way Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) used campaign cash during his time in the Sunshine State's Legislature.
When Rubio entered the Florida House of Representatives in 2000, the then 28-year-old was laden with debt. The Tampa Bay Times described him as "barely solvent" as he plotted his ascent to Speaker of the House in 2006 and the lead up to his 2009 run for the U.S. Senate. During this time, Rubio apparently used the resources of his two political committees and an American Express credit card from the state Republican Party for some of his personal expenses.
The Miami Herald and the Tampa Bay Times investigated Rubio's questionable bookkeeping in 2010. Those reports showed Rubio's free use of his party credit card to cover personal expenses like a $135 haircut, trip to a local liquor store and $10,000 family vacation. Rubio said at the time that honest bookkeeping mistakes were made and insisted he reimbursed the state party when necessary to pay for personal charges.
17 paragraphs in the grey lady gets around to it. Maybe you will eventually too.
What a big fat nothing burger
Im tired of self professed 'conservatives' who are not fiscally conservative.
Its funny that you believe Im the 'extreme far left' and yet im still more fiscally conservative than marco rubio.
All aboard the 24 foot luxury speedboat to debt island while we discuss how to change the liberal tendencies of society.
