To return to a House of Reps with a rep for every 30,000 people would give us a House of nearly 10,000 members! You think we have gridlock and special interest coercion now, imagine the mess that a House with 10,000 reps would cause.

I didn't say one per 30,000; it is not up to me to decide anyway. But it would be worth a public and a congressional debate to decide if it could be improved from the current rediculous ratio.
