Marco Rubio: the new GOP?

I was amused to see David Brooks drooling over Marco Rubio's very ordinary remarks about working people yesterday as some kind of grand GOP reboot.

So funny.

“We must get the national debt under control. Tax increases will not solve our $16 trillion debt. Only economic growth and a reform of entitlement programs will help control the debt,” the Florida Republican said. 

Translation: we must keep taxes low for rich people and pay for it by cutting programs for the elderly and poor.

Same as it ever was.
