Here is video from California Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy holding a Town Hall Meeting in Bakersfield where he was asked why the Congress was allowing President Obama to create all the "Czars" he is creating. Just before he answered there were shouts from the audience of "He's a communist!"
McCarthy answered the question by saying he did not believe Obama had the right to appoint these "Czars" AND give them powers that encroach on the "Checks and Balances" the Constitution requires. . . . . (Watch Video)

that totally did not answer my question, but thank you for sharing.
“The burning question on this czar situation is who is paying for their salaries, health care expenses and retirement packages?”

Federalist Patriot is paying for all those things. notpoliticallycorewrecked is paying for all those things. And, me, I’m paying for all those things. But, I never got a say-so in the decision to hire those people or to pay for all those things.
Well ... it’s a start!
When I think of Bakersfield Calif., I think of the movie, In Cold Blood and how the two got their laws mixed up and murdered a policeman.
It think your right. I was just a kid.
My how this crap has evolved.
I believe that Manning’s vision is very real!
I have now seen three day’s of Glen Beck’s series!!
Something is going to happen sooner than later. Go to glenbeck.com and see all the series, scary to say the least!!!
>And, me, I’m paying for all those things. But, I never got a say-so in the decision to hire those people or to pay for all those things.
Sure you get a say-so; at the barrel of a gun... the question is will it be your gun, or theirs? (Remember the concentration camp slogan “Work will set you free.” was recited even as the internees dug their own graves.)
It is all communism presented to the American people in a new “package” that is more palatable to the American people than the raw “Communism”!!!
I completely understand that we the taxpayers are footing the bill. But what I am trying to understand is “Under what department, agency or authorization through Congress”, is covering the czars payroll, and benefits.
Obama calls them “special advisors”.
Simply put, these “special advisors” are a convenient scheme for Obama to expand his power base at the taxpayers’ expense AND without Congressional oversight. Several of them are so radical that even our far-left non-representing representatives wouldn’t approve them.
“I completely understand that we the taxpayers are footing the bill. But what I am trying to understand is “Under what department, agency or authorization through Congress”, is covering the czars payroll, and benefits.”
Senator Byrd wrote a letter to President Obama in February, criticizing the president’s strategy of creating czars to manage important areas of national policy. Senator Byrd said that these appointments violate both the constitutional system of checks and balances and the constitutional separation of powers, and is a clear attempt to evade congressional oversight. (Didn’t this White House promise unprecedented transparency?)
