National Review's Michael Auslin: "Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel is increasingly a textbook example of how far the Democratic party has moved to the left since Bill Clinton's day. Emanuel, who cut his teeth in Clinton's administration, just presided over a $1.9 billion increase in Chicago's debt, only months after Moody's downgraded the city's bond ratings three notches based on its growing and unsustainable spending and debt obligations. ... All told ... the Windy City has $29 billion in long-term debt. ... Old-line Democratic cities, it seems, have learned nothing from Detroit's collapse."
