| On Reason TV, Andrew Ferguson Discusses the Parasite Economy of Washington, DC Back in February, I posted this startling map showing that 10 of America’s 15-richest counties are the bedroom communities surrounding Washington, DC. There’s a lot of money in Washington because federal bureaucrats are wildly overpaid, as I document in this video, and also because there is a huge shadow workforce of contractors, consultants, and lobbyists who have their snouts buried deeply in the public trough. In an interview for Reason TV, Andy Ferguson talks about how these well-paid parasites have created a bubble economy in Washington. |
