Czars

It seems you can't swing a dead cat in Washington anymore without pelting a "czar" of some sort or another. They have a "car czar", "bank czar", "pay czar" among many others.

Used to be a czar was some disingenuous Russina oligarch from a century ago. Somehow Obama has resurrected the term, cleaned it up, and appointed modern day "czars" rulers of industry. Washington media seems to like the term, maybe this is the royalty they have always been envious of.

Wasn't too long ago entrepeneurs were celebrated leaders of American industry.

Elite government rule is a cancer to prosperity, is there a better reason to be short America?

Follow up to this post, Obama has appointed 31 Czars, and even our Canadian gov't has picked up on the idea and appointed a few of our own.

I hate the idea.

Czars are unelected, have sweeping powers, and cannot be held accountable.

Czar = Dictator

How is this progress?
