New "Ebola Czar"

How about this: Rather than creating some new position to satisfy the self licking ice cream cone in Washington, how about people just start doing their fucking jobs?!

We already have a Director of HHS. What does that dipshit do?! We have a director of CDC. What does he do?!

Now the solution is to add another layer to the bureaucracy? We need less of this and more people who just get shit done.
 
Special committees make people feel good. "Oh, the guy who is responsible and should hang for this can't be bothered to clean up his mess. We'll appoint someone who can focus exclusively on this problem and meet your needs, Citizen." They are just a PR stunt while the rank and file do their jobs.

I will say the whole "czar" thing is outrageous. "Czar" apparently means "entitled, politically-connected asshole who brings nothing to the table, but will charge us a small mint for his services." On some levels the US is no different, or better, than every other government in history. The Romans, Greeks, Feudal Japan, the Nazis (yes, I went there), penal colonies, Victorian England, the Byzantines, Stalin's USSR, the Aztec, Carthage, various dynasties in China, etc.

We might actually be worse off then them as a country. Our main problem is that our whole country compares itself to every empire you just named with the thought of "they weren't as wise as we are today"........Then again maybe all those empires had the exact same mindset as we do, and also why history keeps repeating itself.

Yet another reason to grow the government a little more. He will need an office, salary, staff, funding, cars and drivers, an airplane with pilots and cabin crew, hours and hours of confrences, meetings, political backers and opponents, a face staff just to prep him for news events, etc. The funds and resources that will be generated for this new "czar", will have no effect on the Ebola problem. I can not think of a bigger waste of resources. What happened to the US Surgeon General, on vaction, too busy for this, too dumb for this, fired, had a stroke ? This really pisses me off}:-)}:-)}:-). This decision really says that the current administration did not pick the right people to handle this kind of event. IMHO, it the same as sticking your foot in your mouth, then shooting your foot off. Idiots, we have idiots in charge, nothing points it out better han this mindless move}:-).

I do wish the best of good fortune during your time on The Dark Continent. Pay attention to detail, and keep your hands away from your face. I know I am preaching to the choir, just can't help myself I guess. Stock up on hand sanitizers and use them. Give a shout if you find you need anything.
