Kicking the can

To delay a decision, as in to pass the buck, often to another person or committee

I was supposed to be hired by Jon but now that Ian is the new manager he gets to make the decision. No news yet, they are just kicking the can on my employment.

Kicking the can down the road

What politicians do to our National debt. Instead of resolving it, they refuse to address it and instead borrow more.

The Republicans and Democrats both borrowed a ton of money and put the government further in debt. This is what we call kicking the can down the road. Guess our children's children will be paying this one off.
