Rubio's not up for re-election until 2022, so he can push these left-leaning ideas to try and pull fringe leftists into the party. Later on near election season, he'll take the hard party line every time. On that note, I'm not sure this belongs on HN. I don't want this site to devolve into political editorial discussion every day. There are other sites for that.

Hopefully you flagged the post and others will as well. I always flag posts like these because I also hope this site does not devolve into political editorial discussions every day.

  I read this article just before it got flagged away, and I'm glad to have read this. I liked this article because it brought me a new insight, or rather it put into words a feeling I have about the economy: that companies have turned traditional capitalism around by effectively providing loans to consumers, and returning capital to shareholders. A very intriguing insight. As a European I'm not into US politics, it's too bad it has become so divisive that a discussion is no longer possible, even if it contains relevant insights that may lead to opportunities for startups.

    If you're so inclined it can be unflagged by vouching for it

    The article was informative, and I don't believe " it has become so divisive that a discussion is no longer possible" but simply that hacker news is not the place for these types of articles.
