The House debated the budget for five hours before Republicans pushed it through, 243-124.

Wow, I thought PA was bad with overload of congress critters.

We have 202 in the house with about 12 Million folks.

In NH the number is 367 house members and 1,300,000 folks {1 rep for 3,542 people, while PA has 1 rep for 59,406 people}.

I was at a town hall meeting and someone said we have too many congress critters and my local critter {a new pubbie, just 2 months} said that he had introduced a bill to reduce the house size by 50 critters.

California has 80 in the state house for over 37 million.

462,500 per state rep.

What kind of representation is that?
