Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, governments often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Saying things like, "This is the way we have always ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other countries to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7. Appointing a specialist team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a new policy to increase our riding ability.
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in todays environment.
10. Changing the requirements, declaring that "This horse is not dead."
11. Hiring contractors to ride the dead horse.
12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Doing a Cost Analysis study to see if consultants can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchasing a product to make dead horses run faster.
17. Declaring the horse is "better, faster and cheaper" dead.
18. Forming a committee to find uses for dead horses.
19. Re-evaluating the performance requirements for horses.
20. Promoting the dead horse to a cabinet position.
