It's worse now.

When Newt Gingrich was Speaker, he pushed through drastic cuts in funding for Congressional staffs, and that money has never been restored.
According to one article I read, when the 2017 tax cut was being formulated--it never was debated in the Senate--there were something like 6,000 lobbyists working on 250 House staffers.
Anybody who runs for office should have to divest and should be prohibited from investing while in office. Instead of term limits, there should be a waiting period of not less than 10 years before any retired Congressman can go to work as a lobbyist.
The same should apply to non civil-service workers in the Executive Branch. Too many of these assholes want high paying jobs working for the corporations they're supposed to be regulating.
If limiting campaign contributions is un-Constitutional, then greed needs to be attacked via other means.
Of course, this is all pure fantasy.
