You know who runs the show in cases like this, the aides. The unelected unaccountable staffers in D.C. are running the country for most of these feeble types. WE need more Charles Grassleys of a certain age but better than most young pretty faces. That is the problem.
Yup! There is way too much staff in DC! There’s a lot to do to fix it, but one of the main things would be to limit the staff - each Congresscritter should be getting paid the average for the district they represent, and get maybe 3-5x that amount to spend on staff. Anything more than that comes out of their own pocket!
