Congressional Resources, Part I

Did you know.....

According to Wikipedia, each member of the US House of Representatives gets a staff of 14 full time workers and four part time workers.  

The average Senator has a staff of 34, although the formula is different in the budgeting process, based on the population of the state.  

Congress is allowed to split their staff between their home districts and the offices in Washington, DC.  

Wow, what could you get done with such a staff?!  Certainly, given this staff size, our Representatives can't use the amount of work as an excuse in not getting the work done.
