In Case You Missed It – Fareed Zakaria and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel shredded Democratic governance of cities and states on Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday:

“This is a huge Democratic Party problem. If you look at Democratic cities, they are terribly run. They have incredibly high taxes, it is impossible to build so the cost of housing is crazy in places like New York and Chicago.

“If you look at Democratic states: look at New York vs. Florida - roughly the same population - the budget of New York State is twice that of Florida. What do they have, streets paved with gold? I live in New York, I pay the highest taxes in New York - you get nothing for it. I think that is the image people have of the Democratic Party: lots of taxes, lots of regulation, but nothing gets done.”
