Senator Rubio states the USA will be facing a debt crisis post the 2016 elections if the right person is not president.
He sees modification of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to counter balance the US Debt Crisis. He wants to impact the most vulnerable in our society to prevent his debt crisis, which includes new nuclear weapons programs.
Senator Rubio does not see one more tax in the USA on the wealthy, not even the top one percent, not even a transaction tax on Wall Street to pay off the USA debt. That is the problem today. Republicans answer to one man, Grover Norquist and not the American people.
He sees escalation of the war in the middle east, but, says nothing about the lack of the AUMF to provide that authority. He actually sees safe havens in the middle that is somehow magically will never see weapons fire or battles of any kind. Rubio is no different than the members of Congress, they live in a world that doesn't exist.
Japan is very divided about rearming themselves. It is the first time since WW II Japan is asking their people to rearm for national security. It is all ideology with Rubio.
Ah, he has to wrap things up. And we only got started.

Tokyo — Efforts by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (click here) to normalize Japan's security posture and bolster its US alliance against China hit an obstacle when the Lower House Commission on the Constitution declared Abe's moves unconstitutional. Still, Japan is expected to pass legislation around August to expand the nation's ability to better support the US in the defense of Japan.
In a minor bombshell, on June 4, Setsu Kobayashi, professor emeritus of Constitutional Law at Keio University and member of the Lower House Commission on the Constitution, said provisions allowing limited rights of collective self defense as promoted by the Abe administration are unconstitutional.
"Paragraph 2 of Article 9 does not grant any legal standing for military activities abroad," Kobayashi is reported to have said. "Going to war abroad to help a friendly nation is a violation of Article 9," he said.
Article 9 of the 1947 US-imposed Japanese Constitution outlaws war as a means to settle international disputes involving the state. In its text, the state formally renounces the sovereign right of belligerency and aims for international peace based on justice and order....
Everyone running for President of the USA should understand these laws and how it impacts the actions of the USA. They should do more than simply mention such documents. Anyone can do that, but, understand what is implied is a different issue. I don't want another Republican figurehead in the Oval Office.
