Rubio on America Becoming Greece: ‘Eventually, We’ll Have to Pay the Piper’

‘Eventually, the world will say we are not buying more of this debt from America because they have no plan to pay it back’

HANNITY: The next president will inherit 20 trillion in debt and 120 trillion in unfunded liabilities. That to me almost sounds like Greece. It doesn't seem that it's a problem we can even solve. Thoughts?"
RUBIO: "If we weren't America, we would have had a Greece crisis already. The fact that we're America and we remain the greatest country in the world, has given us some flexibility and little bit of wiggle room and bought us some time. But eventually we'll have to the piper as well. Eventually the world will say we're not buying any more of this debt from America because they have no plan to pay it back. That is going to happen. It's the most predictable crisis in American history. And we have political leaders in both parties that aren't doing a thing about it. And again, it reflects on--in the polls and the frustration people have. You know quite frankly, Sean, if you recall, that's why I ran in 2010 against the establishment of my own party. Because I felt there were people not willing to fight for what mattered."
