- Take an unpopular bill (ie. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008) and vote it down in the House of Representatives by a significant margin.
-
2. Give the bill to the Senate and let their greedy hands get all over it by taking a 100 page bill and adding 300+ pages of PORK to garner the support of your peers.
-
3. Call a vote which you know will succeed because you added enough for all the greedy Senators and call it a “bi-partisan” victory.
-
4. Hand the bill (which by the way is still a bad bill, if not worse) back to the House and dare to call them fools for not passing the original bill—and don’t forget to blame Republicans, President Bush.
-
Result: Get the largest socialist program this country has ever seen, complete with the added bonus of enough PORK to ensure that the taxpayer will never see any return for Washington’s original follies.
