Their problem is that the Democrat special interests have lost ground economically and will have to lay off some people to hire any of these people.
This is no small problem for them. The nonprofit (and special interest) employment base in Moran's district is at least 60,000 people. Existing layoffs in that sector already constitute a major part of the local unemployment statistics (which appear low at 4.5%, but are actually among the worst for private sector employment given the presence of so many government employees in the area. To wit: 1 out of 7 jobs).
When it comes to the nonprofits think Las Vegas with its 14% unemployment ~ it's an unmitigated disaster for those folks so there's really no room for the coming Democrat office holders and appointees.
Quite frankly no one knows what is going to happen in the DC suburbs whether in Maryland or Virginia. We've had 50% drops in the value of real-estate and construction ground to a halt here just like everywhere else. 401(k) (type) accounts have tanked. Even the tourist industry has gone into the dumpster.
Thanks for the analysis. I hope “we” are smart enough when we finally get a President, Senate and Congress together again to fully defund all of them. “Progressives” work for pay, not volunteer like we do. Their movement will be a shadow of itself without government funds.
