Carlos Curbelo Takes Aim at 'Obama Economy' on National TV

Republicans have high hopes for Miami-Dade School Board member Carlos Curbelo as he looks to defeat U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., and, on Monday, the GOP congressional hopeful took to the national stage.

Curbelo appeared on Fox and Friends on Fox News on Monday morning along with fellow Republican congressional candidates Evan Jenkins of West Virginia and Richard Tisei of Massachusetts. Neither Garcia nor the Democratic congressmen that Jenkins and Tisei are challenging appeared on the show despite being invited.

Asked about what he is seeing in the campaign, Curbelo said voters in South Florida are frustrated with the government we have today. He added young voters and immigrants are losing faith in the American dream. They dont see the opportunities this country used to offer. Curbelo also said voters want Congress to fix the Obama economy which is leaving so many people behind.

Asked about what he sees as the most important issue in this campaign, Curbelo said it was the national debt and federal spending.

Young voters are starting to wake up, Curbelo said, insisting the Obama administration was running up the national debt on our generations credit card.
