Getting Bigger Costlier Congress Expands Private Bureaucracy
Congress has built a private staff network now over 7,000 positions costing more than $50 million annually. The House plans a further $10,500 per member raise to hire another aide, while critics led by Sen. Ellender attack subcommittee staffs as bloated. Supporters, including Dr. George Galloway of the Library of Congress, call staff expansion essential to handle modern, complex government work.
