Romney takes deficit message to Florida

After taking his message on the deficit to Iowa yesterday, Mitt Romney brought it to Florida today, reports The Hill's Cameron Joseph.

Standing in front of a digital sign showing an ever-increasing federal deficit, Romney warned that if the United States doesn't get the debt under control, "they're going to be dramatically raising taxes over time" to pay for it.

"It's high time that we have a president who will stop this spending and borrowing inferno," he said to applause from the senior-heavy crowd in St. Petersburg, Fla.
