Marco Rubio - Mitt Romney..... M. R. (coincidence - I don't think so)

With our debt soaring, our population aging and our infrastructure crumbling, we stand at a troubling crossroads. And yet politicians sell us low-tax, no-pain fantasies. They traffic in vagueness and treat us like toddlers.

On Tuesday morning Rubio certainly did. When the conversation turned from immigration, on which he was eloquent, to taxes, he followed Mitt Romney’s lead and became maddeningly evasive, indicating support for Romney’s half-formed proposal of across-the-board cuts in marginal rates that somehow won’t diminish federal revenue.
