Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Monday announced a multi-part plan to stimulate the economy that included expanding private sector access to the government-controlled wireless spectrum, new legislation to limit regulation of the Internet and another to encourage cooperation in cutting edge research between government agencies and the private sector.
During an hour-long talk at the Washington headquarters of Google Inc., Rubio also called for tracking the economic cost of government regulations, repealing a ban on crude oil exports and easing government restrictions on energy pipelines.
The free-market proposals drew applause from conservatives gathered at the event, hosted by Google and the Jack Kemp Foundation. The 42-year-old Rubio is mentioned frequently as a possible 2016 presidential candidate. But the Florida senator has lost favor with conservatives in part because of his efforts last year to pass immigration reform legislation, which conservatives complained would lead to amnesty for those in the country illegally.Read the rest of the story HERE and view Rubio's speech and Q&A below:
