The GOP Is Pushing The Same Failed Economic Policies That Destroyed The Economy Under Jeb Bush's Brother

Marco Rubio Pt. 1 - Senator Marco Rubio discusses how the U.S. government's
policies have not kept up with economic growth over the last several decades in
his book "American Dreams." (6:02)

At 1:58 Jon Stewart is referring to our upside down tax system and the corporate
freeloaders, amougnst other things.
At 3:40 - Marco Rubio, the guy who claims 'not to be a scientist' and by implication
saying that as a consequence of his lack of scientific understanding he can't
comprehend what 97% of scientists are telling him, claims there is an "economic
restructuring going on which our policy making hasn't kept up with'. His claim lacks
credibility.
At 5 mins Marco Rubio makes it clear that he is aware of the "Obamacare VS
Affordable care act" schizophrenia... AND he is playing the politics of'Obamacare
is bad' as long as people don;t know. Complete proof of his duplicity & lies.
Marco Rubio Pt. 2 - Senator Marco Rubio proposes a modification
to the earned income tax credit and shares his concern that raising the
minimum wage would cost people their jobs. (5:14):
to the earned income tax credit and shares his concern that raising the
minimum wage would cost people their jobs. (5:14):
It starts off with talk about Marco Rubio's idea to expand the earned
income tax credit... which Obama is already pushing so it isn't a p
particularly earth shaking idea.
AT 2 mins we get to hear that the anti science party has a congressional committee
which doesn't like the idea of a minimum wage increase. Marco Rubio pretends to
believe that jobs will disappear with the increase of the minimum wage while their
support of the TPP & NAFTA doesn't. The argument goes along like this 'if we increase
the wage then machines will magically appear and take over your job'... then he
talks about getting your food from a vending machine, as if that doesn't already exist
and fast food or restaurants haven't disappeared. There is a reason a fast food employs
people. The reality is that the income boost would help people prepare for the
future, so that when fast food does automate to a great degree (30-40 years from
now) this generation will already have houses and would have enough wealth for
the next technological economic boom, whatever that may be.
At 3:14 what Marco Rubio is saying SOUNDS like a reasonable economic statement
i.e. that if you make someone more expensive than a technology then people will switch.
I would like to remind "Mr. I'm not a scientist", that such technology would be way to
expensive for any customer service related restaurant. The eating out boom will
continue even if a weird automated fast food shows up. To talk about technology
that doesn't exist and making policy decision based on this imaginary situation is
just ridiculous.
As it is, car factories have become heavily automated and still employ a ton of
people. So even modern parallel examples don't work for this excuse.
