Keep up the good fight. I was going to rip on you for using my illustration of Hecatoncheires without my permission, but since you’re criticizing the idiotic “czars” of Obama, I’m okay with it.

Their are no provisions for Czars or whatever name they are supposed to go by. If Nixon created the first Czar, that makes it no more constitutional. It is a direct attempt by this executive branch to circumvent the constitutional system of checks and balances. These people would not pass the consideration of the Senate nor the FBI check. Where as previous administrations would appoint one or two "czars" which would be overlooked, this President has appointed 30+ and counting. He has in effect created a government within the executive branch. This among other things MUST be stopped. Furthermore, the funding for these czars could NOT be in "LAST YEARS budget" as this administration was NOT IN POWER last year. How could it NOT lead to more expenditures when these people, as with most people, will not work for FREE. Not only that, but they also must have secretaries, advisors, deputies, drivers and all the chattel that go along with government positions. If you could convince a czar to work for free, I'm sure these other people would NOT. Isn't the President himself or his Chief of Staff responsible for minimizing overlap/redundancy? Wouldn't adding another minion to the cog of the wheel of government just by itself reducing the efficiency of government? Ari, what planet do you just drop off of, and can you go back? Or, perhaps your a "shill". That makes more sense. Ari, have you read the constitution lately? Their are no provisions for Czars or whatever name they are supposed to go by.

The Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is called the drug czar (and was created under Reagan). The first person referred to as a czar in American history was "Czar Nicholas" of the 2nd US Bank. it doesn't add anything more or less to the budget when a czar is appointed. Their position was in LAST YEARS budget for this year. Appointing a director (or czar" as the press likes to call it) of a certain effort it not necessarily likely to lead to greater expenditures. In fact, such a team leader can be responsible for coordinating various governmental departments efforts so as to MINIMIZE overlap/redundancy and improve efficiency. “Czars” are just alternative names for heads of special offices/teams dedicated to one effort or another.
