Your GF is realizing how insecure a job really is. It's a reality the rest of us in the private sector face on a daily basis. No tears shed here.
You/We/I come up with those 535 people, and actually a lot more than that, because they are people that are building a political career, over many years, instead of another 535, etc. that truly want to serve and help the nation. It takes so much money and outside influence to get elected, that the 535 are beholding to everyone except who they promise to be. It's all a game about getting elected, re-elected, satisfying the lobby, etc. that the nation never really gets served. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but the majority are just advancing their career and thinking their career is what is best for the nation.
I actually do think that term limits is all that is going to save us from the professional politicians.

We have term limits, they're called elections.
Maybe the "list makers" have been sent home.
I would like to agree, but in reality it's the money and lobby influence that gets people elected. Until that run away train hits the end of the track it never stops.
I'm not a Tea Partier, but I'll be damned if they aren't the only representatives with the balls to tell Obama and the Dems that the tax paying citizens do not want this cluster **** they call obamacare.
Actually, most functions are down.
If you think this is the t party's fault you are out of your flaming mind.
This president and the democrats in congress conspired and passed the largest economic take over in history with no republicans being any part of it.
This is not governance. What the president is doing is criminal. The majority of Americans do not want Obamacare. And if we have to shut down this ever growing bureaucratic nightmare we call government, then so be it.
I can't blame them for taking advantage of our apathy and lack of individualism. That's on us, not them.
