The new gold rush, to the only employment our betters will allow.

[microgood]

The pigs are lining up at the trough.

[fatnotlazy]

DC itself, no. You couldn’t pay me enough to live there. Now the suburbs, yes.

[Vigilanteman]

As any hog farmer can tell you, fill the troughs and the pigs will come running.

[PapaNew]

Bad sign. Even in my childhood, I somehow knew that it was a good thing that Washington D.C. wasn’t the “main” place. I somehow knew that was a sign of of freedom from big government.

[Crazy ole coot]

I’m just guessing here, but could it be possible that some of the increase is due to all the new obama czars and their overrated staffing requirements??

[GeronL]

Yep. The Takers have beaten the Makers.

[Jacquerie]

Washington DC is the new Rome, to where all tribute flows.

Many cities are depopulating. I wish DC was one of them.

They are the 1%, they are the robber barons, they are the ones who produce NOTHING

That's just not fair! Do you have ANY IDEA how hard they work on those powerpoint presentations? You know, the ones where everything always works?

[wayne_shrugged]

The story proves that the only growth “industry” in the country is government employment and all associated “industries” such as lobbying which in itself indicates that it is no longer what you do and accomplish but rather in who you know and can influence. We have become a true Third-World Banana Republic.

[GeronL]

bump

[baiamonte]

Good News! There are a whole lot of people in this country that need to be in DC. How about the entire State of California to start.

[New Jersey Realist]

This is crap. But just wait till all these rats have to leave after we take over!!!!!

[Rippin]

Close a few bureaus down. Move a few bureaus to ‘flyover’ country. Eliminate the commerce clause from the constitution. Get a balanced budget ammendment. Poof, problem solved.

[wild74]

Get your welfare checks quicker there.

[sjmjax]

Not surprising.

People tend to go to where there's money. Large sums of money.

Especially crooks, cons, charlatans, thieves and all their entourage.

[Right Wing Assault]

Why did you move to D.C.? As Willie Sutton didn’t say, “That’s where the money is.”
