From C-SPAN:

				A House Member employs an average of 14 staff; ... House Members may not exceed 18 full-time staff, and 4 part-time.

 With 10,000 in Congress, that would potentially equal 180,000 full-time staff alone!  We would need to build 8 Pentagons to hold all the Representatives and their staff!
