From The Hill:
A group of House Republicans introduced a bill on Wednesday to rein in the various “czars” in the Obama administration.
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and 28 other House Republicans introduced legislation to do away with the informal, paid advisers President Obama has employed over the past two years.
The legislation, which was introduced in the last Congress but was not allowed to advance under Democratic control, would do away with the 39 czars Obama has employed during his administration…
To me, this is just for starters – we should seek at least a 20% reduction in all Congressional and White House staff. The Czars, though, really have to go – they are nothing more, these days, than a way to put politically toxic Presidential supporters on the payroll without either civil service or Congressional oversight. To put it bluntly, we’re being forced to pay high salaries to people who couldn’t get a real job if you put a gun to their head…but, meanwhile, they get to use their sinecures to advance a far left agenda never supported by the American voters.
