Eolake Stobblehouse considers the dead horse problem:
Dakota Native American tribal wisdom, passed on from generation to generation, says:
“When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount and get a different horse.”
Governments, he says, employ “more modern strategies,” including:
Buying a stronger whip. …
Appointing a committee to study the horse. …
Lowering the standards so that the dead horse can be included. …
Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed. …
Providing additional funding and / or training to increase dead horse’s performance. …
Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
This reminds me of something, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

It probably reminds you of corporate America. It sure does me.
Politics is politics and money is money. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a public or private concern. They all behave the same way.
