Midwestern cities need jobs. DC is too crowded. A simple solution. 3 minute video.

A better move would be to the middle of the Atlantic at forty fathoms below sea level.
Not cities; small towns, with no ballet nor opera. West Plains MO, Washington KS, Graysville IL, Pawhuska OK Kit Carson CO etc., no Ivy Leaguers would go ever, so graduates of state colleges would have to step up and take those jobs.
East St. Louis. Illinois is hopeless anyway, and they could go to Cardinals’ games.
I want the swamp drained! Not relocated. No thanks.
Oh right, move all those filthy northern Virginia Obama apparatchiks to Iowa! My ass!
Just the way Lincoln wanted it.
You must have been there when I was. Been retired for 20 years. But that was when America was still America (eg before Obama) and government service was still honorable.
Or Cairo, IL...and watch all the divorces and suicides amongst democrats!
Living in Virginia. I say that this is a grand Idea !
Imagine what a different world we might live in if members of Congress rarely traveled outside their district or state and conducted the “peoples’ business” from a high-tech room in their home office that enabled them to debate, sit on committee, question witnesses and vote via teleconferencing. This idea for Congress and state legislatures is as old as the integrated circuit.
Such a system would eliminate the high costs of constantly transporting, housing, and protecting 535 politicians, their staffs and families. It would also force members of Congress to practice some loyalty to, and feel the unique pains of the voters who elected them. Most senators and representatives today are more loyal to each other–including those across the aisle–than they are to their own constituents. A stay-at-home Congress would be less likely to adopt an imperial mind set fostered by a fawning Capitol press corps and White House dinners in regal settings.
An Electronic Congress would reduce the pressure lobbyists and other special interest groups have on Congress because Congress would be decentralized. In such a setting a senator wouldn’t have to run public opinion polls. He could simply drive around his state for a week, mingle with the people, and he would get their unvarnished viewpoint. . .

No!!!! Why pollute decent Americans?
How about moving it to Puerto Rico?
Not just no, but hell no!
We don’t need or want the swamp creatures out here in God’s country.
Lincoln would be DC in a few decades.
