Speech at 2013 CPAC conference: on Corporations


Marco Rubio: The banks caused the mortgage crisis and we bailed them out

Many of our hardworking people have seen their jobs wiped out--jobs they've been doing for 20 years disappeared overnight. Many of them do things the right way--for example they pay their mortgages on time. And now when the housing bubble came, they were stuck with the bill. For bailing out the banks that caused it. For bailing out the people took out mortgages they couldn't afford to pay. Everywhere they look, they see trouble around them. They look at Washington DC--every week Washington's creating some sort of man-made crisis for them to worry about.

They don't want to take anything away from the vast majority of Americans in the hard working middle class. But they wonder who's fighting for them. And fighting for the hardworking everyday people of this country who do things right and do not complain. Because our hardworking middle class Is one of the things that makes America different and sets us apart from the rest of the world.
