I'm not sure whether there is a widely accepted definition of "policy" that matches yours, but if there is, it's not a helpful one. In general, a policy is a deliberate system of rules or guidelines.

[sanderjd]

Yes there is, and it is a helpful one. It is good and helpful to have words that just mean a simple thing. The things an administration does are the policy of that administration. That policy been be a deliberate system, or it can be haphazard and arbitrary. It is still their policy either way.

What I was trying to tell you is that your definition of "policy" is wrong.

[sanderjd]

I understand that's what you were saying, but it isn't, you're incorrect.
