Democrat Bill Writing Process

First of all, you have to have a brainstorming session.  Think of some things that would be really cool to do, think of some problems that need solutions, and think of some extra stuff to add to the list.

Once you have a bunch of random disjointed ideas floating around the room, grab a pen!

1. Make a list of things that fall under the heading of "Wouldn't it be cool if . . . ."

2. Make a list of problems that need to be solved/handled/dealt with

3. Make a list of extra stuff you want but don't need, get suggestions from others.

    note: the easiest way to get suggestions is to hint around that there might be some money handed out soon.

Start writing the bill.  Make sure to include everything in the first section by removing the phrase "Wouldn't it be cool if" and just placing the item in the bill as if it were a completely thought out idea rather than a brainstorming item.

Try not to overthink any of the items in the bill.  Nothing has to work.  As long as money gets spent, it actually looks like it's working.  If nothing good happens, you can always blame it on somebody else.  Remember, you added enough "Wouldn't it be nice" items that at least you look good for trying something so "wouldn't it be nice".

Make sure and highlight the intersting brainstorming ideas while preventing people from actually looking at the details.  Why should others be looking at the details when the politicians that wrote the bill never did???  If at all possible, make the bill as wordy as possible.  That way the nightly news will skim over the information and only tell people about the "woudln't it be nice's" in the bill.  This allows you to offer nothing more than fluff, debt, and expendatures w/o ANY of the ramifications. 

And remember, if anybody picks on parts of you bill, you know, the ones you never thought out or found a way to honestly make work, then just repeat the cool brainstorming ideas, even if they didn't make it into the bill.  Then call the nay sayer something negative or use partisan politics as a default "it's not me" shield.

In summary, offer the sky, don't offer a way to do it, then try to get people from realizing that you're either full of it or that you idea failed and caused more problems than if nothing had been done!
