Swamp- the concept of a Tsar is that the individual is specific focus on an area that may cross more than one cabinet departmental barrier. Sort of a cross-functional team idea. They look like little mini-cabinet departments, and may actually act that way, but they're not supposed to be that way.
Keep in mind that the cabinet (and the departments) used to be lots simpler back in the 'good old days'. We have all this back and forth reorganization. And the departments spend a lot of time and energy sniping at each other, which is non-value added activity that really pisses me off.
