In his defense it actually is a full time job. He in Washington DC part time then back home part time. This guy is part of a show they have on cnn.com where they follow two freshman representatives. This guy works around the clock when he is in DC (he doesn't even rent an apartment like most do, he has a cot in his office that he sleeps on). Then when he is home he has non stop meetings with different groups as well as a ton of town hall meetings so he can keep in touch with the people of his district.
The big waste is that he has two different full staffs. He has one in DC and one in his home state and gets an annual budget of 3million to run his office.
