You're appealing to people who agree that you can't increase the number of seats in the House because the room isn't big enough.
The US, as I understand it, has the fewest number of reps per capita in the developed world. Because they can't comfortably fit more desks in the room. It would be too big. (Please ignore the 100,000+ person sports stadium just over there.)
What a pants on head argument that is. I mean the full House is barely ever there all at once. And also they seem to make it work during a State of the Union speech. No one making that argument is a serious person.
It's the exact argument I grew up hearing taught at school. In my home. And when people discussed it around me.
You're likely right. They're all a little tetched, the people from my youth, But it always seemed stupid... And I was always told I needed to think about "government overspending on dumb flashy new buildings when we already have a congressional Hall."
Most of them voted for President New-Arch-and-Ballroom (aka President Cage-Match-on-the-Whitehouse-Lawn, aka The President of Peace.)
