Bill Maher and his panel sounded the alarm on the Democrats’ bleak future, arguing that liberal states like California have become synonymous with suffocating bureaucracy and relentless regulation.**
Maher didn’t hold back: “This state has almost 400,000 regulations. I just put in a new roof that’s not going to burn up—two inspections! Why are you inspecting my roof? It’s my f***ing roof.”
He continued, “We’re taxed more than any other state. People are fleeing places like this for states where they don’t feel the heavy breath of government on them.”
As Maher bluntly put it, what’s often called red tape is, in reality, blue tape.
