According to a variety of reports, Obama's czars are in charge of spending the $780 billion in the stimulus package.
From Newsweek, re: Van Jones:
What Green Jobs?
Washington is spending $60 billion to create the careers of the future, but not a single green job yet exists. Obama's 'green czar' explains.President Obama devoted nearly $60 billion of his stimulus package to building a new green-based economy rich in renewable energy and strategies to cut carbon. But despite the price tag, not one green job yet exists.
Wikipedia lists Earl E. Devaney as "Stimulus Accountability Czar, Stimulus Oversight Czar". From the Washington Post, re: Devaney:
President Obama plans to announce Monday that he wants a former Secret Service agent who helped expose lobbying corruption at the Interior Department to oversee the $787 billion economic stimulus plan, an administration official said Sunday.
Per Politico, the TARP czar is Herb Allison. Allison appears to share responsibility with Devaney, in overseeing the $787 billion stimulus. Per Reuters:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Obama administration is expected to name Fannie Mae Chief Executive Herb Allison to head the U.S. government's $700 billion financial rescue program, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.
Isn't it a subversion of our Constitution for Obama to hand oversight of $787 billion of taxpayer money over to unelected czars who report to him personally?
