There are some really stupid sayings in the political world. One is Silver Bullet, as in, "We don't have a silver bullet that will fix that problem," or some other meaningless variation. This is a saying used by a famous formerly gap-toothed Secretary of State and others in the same Administration to refer to a "magic cure" or "solution." Maybe they mean to say magic bullet. Or could it be that they are referring to The Lone Ranger or computer jargon which don't make sense either.
The silver bullet is more properly and commonly thought of as the thing that kills werewolves or a common nickname for a popular light beer, not for solutions to the world's complex problems. Idiot sayings, idiot policies.
