Pushing on a string

A strategy that is fundamentally flawed and not capable of solving a chosen problem, even with tremendous effort.
In macroeconomics, the term refers a policy where central banks loosen monetary policy to increase the supply of money available for investment when there is little potential demand for investment, such as when firms have large cash reserves, underutilized production facilities, and large inventories and very limited consumer demand.

Gov wants to revive the economic strategy of pushing on a string by loosening monetary policy for the private sector during the slack in the economy.

Pushing Sunflowers

Idiom used to imply someone who is Dead and whose body is fertilizing plants (sunflowers). Hence you are "pushing" sunflowers up from the ground.

Popularly, the idiom was Pushing Daisies. This variation was inspired by a brave Ukrainian woman who encouraged Russian soldiers to fertilize sunflowers, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Pushing Daisies was the idiom. Now it shall forever be Pushing Sunflowers.

Invade Ukraine, and you'll be Pushing Sunflowers soon.
