Thousands of Democrats to soon be jobless in Washington....(link)

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) Nov 5 '10, 13:22

Damn thats a lot of politcal hacks losing jobs. And 60 new politicans need 16.5 people on average to run their office? That sounds way too excessive. I know that they represent a lot of people (apparently on average 650,000 consituents but that still seems like a way to high staff number.

Nature of politics. My very first election night ever as an activist...There were six of us who shut the door on the office that night. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 13:25
Thousands more lobbyists will be back in business, though. It's a trade off. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Nov 5, 13:23
