Mitt Romney on Monday directly criticized his chief rival, saying that during Rick Santorum’s time in the Senate, the “federal government grew 80 percent.”

“When Republicans go to Washington and spend like Democrats, you’re going to have a lot of spending,” Romney added. Unlike Santorum, Romney said he was a “budget hawk.”
