Dakota tribal wisdom says When you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in government they often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following;
1. Buying a bigger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Saying things like "This is the way we always have ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Appointing a team to revive the dead horse.
6. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
7. Pass legislation declaring that "This horse is not dead."
8. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
9 Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
10. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."
11. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
12. Form a quality committee to find uses for dead horses.
13. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.
14. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position. =)
