The document satirizes how bureaucracies evolve over time from an initial idea or need. It shows how appointing a czar to address the need leads to assistants, secretaries, and other support roles being added. Over time, more money is spent and the bureaucracy grows larger with additional teams and officers, even as the original need is long forgotten. The growing bureaucracy becomes self-perpetuating, with the dollars continuing to be spent after the initial need has died.
