“Well now I got me a steer to slaughter along with the labor unions! Whoopee”!
This steer represents what I plan to do with the unions in Illinois
Castrate them, slaughter them, and then me and my rich friends will drink my expensive wine while we feast over the remains.
Rauner: Say Cheese
McCreery: Stern said just smile through this stuff. OK…
Girl Owner: $61,000?!!!!!
Steer: What’s gonna happen?
Guy in Suit: I thought this a second floor meeting?
In a surprising turn of events, the champion steer Scotty has escaped Rauner’s grasp. Plans to change his name to Deez Nuts and run against Rauner as an independent in 2018 have not been confirmed.

THIS is how you run government like a business.
Step 1: Overpay someone in the private sector.
Step 2: The state hacks it up and sells off the pieces.
Step 3: ???
