We have been talking about the power and problems associated with Congress over the course of American History, and I have said on a few occassions, "Imagine how less efficient it would be if the size of the House of Representatives got bigger and bigger as it was supposed to instead of being capped at 435 members!" After reading this article, I find myself reconsidering things. Read the article below by Brian Flynn and argue for or against the specific solutions that he suggests (not the general idea to make Congress bigger, but the specific ways that a bigger Congress could be made more efficient through modern technology). Your response needs to be thoughtful and persuasive, not mere ranting or rhetoric. Minimum word count is 500 words and this post is going to be worth 50 points.
