Nonexistent Questioner: Oh. So why will destroying the public service unions who didn't vote for you solve your deficit problem?

Maximum Governor: Because unions that didn't vote for me are run by monsters who will never, ever, ever give me what I asked for.

Nonexistent Questioner: But that's just a lie. They just gave you everything you asked for.

Maximum Governor: It is not a lie, because...because while it may be true that unions did just give me everything I asked for now and it may be true that their imaginary uncooperativeness was the sole rationale I gave for destroying them, at some point in the future they might not give me what I want, which is why they must be destroyed right now....It's like "The Terminator". If I don't kill Sarah Conor now, she will one day give birth to Cesar Chavez III who will oppose me.
