THANKS GARY!

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that; "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, best strategy is to dismount

However, in government, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:

1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how
other cultures ride dead horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead
horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to
increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter
riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower
overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance
requirements for all horses.

And of course....

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory
position.
