In general, there are definitely way too many unelected people with way too much power on this country. So I wouldn't doubt above could be true to an extent. But would it be worse than getting life long teet suckers like McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, etc., elected forever?

The way it was explained to me (this is the boiled down version) explanation is that Senators and Congressmen already rely on professional Congressional staff to navigate the Byzantian legislative rules and processes. Experienced members of Congress understand these rules and processes and are not dependent (or as dependent) on staff as are the newer members.
My friend painted a bleak picture of how powerful the staff currently is and how much worse it could be.
