I figured that's where Thomas got his 46k figure but it doesn't seem to be on their graph.
- tptacek 14y agoNope, The Sunlight Foundation.
- jordanb 14y agoI think we agreed. It's clear that you didn't get your number from Planet Money since it's not there. It is good to get the source though. So thanks for your reply. For those who are interested, the sunlight foundation post is here: http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/04/02/housecommittees/ http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/04/02/housecommittee... According to that post, the numbers were calculated at Planet Money's request, so there you go.
