Not Ranked
So back on topic - How many tsars constitutes too much?
Is it better to have a specific individual who can be held responsible for specific goals, or to have a bureaucracy that just plods along doing what they always do?
Bush Sr. appointed the first drug tsar way back when - I'm not sure if there has been a long term measurable metric to determine that whatever policies that individual implemented were effective.
I'm really on the fence about tsars/directors/whatever-you-want-to-call-it people. I think that individuals with the proper motivation can be more effective than a group of government workers. But I also think that rewards for non-performance is also too prevalent.
