We would have something like 6,180 members of the House of Representatives if we elected 1 member per 50,000 population. However, if we lowered their salaries accordingly and limited their time in Washington, we might actually have a part-time legislature envisioned by the founding fathers.

If they would eliminate all of the Congressional paid staff I could live with 6,180 Congresscritters.
