Like most Republicans (and not a few Democrats), Marco Rubio has already gone on the record that he will not support an increase for the federal debt limit unless it's linked to a fundamental set of initiatives to cut spending and reform the big entitlement programs that represent the bulk of federal government spending.
Four months into his first term as a U.S. Senator, Marco Rubio reiterated that stance in his first appearance since being elected on NBC's Meet The Press, still considered the most prestigious of the Sunday morning political talk shows. He also said that when it comes to "compromising" with Democrats, that's become a dirty word in the nation's capital, but it shouldn't be.
