Economic Policy: Birds are starving feed horses more oats

Economics is one of several domains of knowledge for which I have an aversion. I did take a course in economics in college many years ago and it dealt a heavy blow to my grade-point average.

This fact may be evident by my question; isn’t there a better economic policy than feeding the birds by giving the horses more oats?

That would only work if the birds in question fed on high quality horse manure.

I have little knowledge in economics and have no specific proposal to make things better. However, like all ideologies capitalism has deluged us with a constant refrain that for the good of society we must have very rich people so that they can create jobs for the rest of us. I think that it is important for the rest of us to occasionally peek behind the curtain and then critically examine the policies that sometimes serve a good purpose but in other times the purpose served is more that of self-interest for those making the policy.

We have been educated to keep our eye on the cape but if bulls could speak they would advise us otherwise.
