2022 FL Senate race: on Budget & Economy


Marco Rubio: Paycheck Protection Program most effective relief program

The Paycheck Protection Program is the single largest federal fiscal policy program enacted in recent history. It has also been the single most effective relief program passed by Congress. Enacted nine months ago in the face of sweeping public health lockdowns that stymied economic activity, the program gave small businesses and their employees a fighting chance to survive the coronavirus pandemic.

Marco Rubio: Supports emergency relief to be spent immediately

Q: Back in 2013, you voted against the relief bill for Superstorm Sandy. You said that it included extraneous items that have nothing to do with emergency relief. Will you make the same stand here?

RUBIO: What I won't support is things that are not emergency relief. What we're going to ask for Florida is what we supported for every other state in the country that's been affected by natural disasters, and that is emergency relief designed to be spent immediately to help the people affected now.
