Personally the census never really bothered me too much to be honest, but it does seem that the White House supervising it, strikes me a little as turing something that should be non-political into something political.
In doing so, it appears to make some a little skeptical as to the real purpose of the data then. If it is to be used to determine the number of Congressmen for each state then fine, but as a means to draw the lines in one partys favor or the other, then no. That is the reason why the census need only known the number really, the other data is not really needed other than for political purposes.
According to the form its so they can call you if they don't understand any of your other answers.
and according to the form, a house cat could understand the other answers.
Don't forget - these are gubmint workers.... Odds are your cat has a greater capacity for interpretation than they do...
I had thought about putting down drug dealing or money laundering for terrorists as my primary source of income just to test how confidential those records are.
That's not on the form.
All they ask is:
1. Number of people in house
2. Own or rent
3. Name
4. Phone number
5. Race
That's it. I understand the desire for privacy, but what objection to those questions could you possibly have?
Unless the federal government has changed its Census forms, the one posted is only the short form, and the long form that some people have to answer contains many more personal questions.

It's always been political. That's why sampling isn't used even though it's far more accurate.

Why would they need the other data for political purposes? The most politically relevant data (election results) are something they already have access to. Besides, it's the states, not the federal government, that set up the districts.

Tension is higher this decade because big changes are coming in the 2010 Census. For the first time since 1930, there will be no "long form." The lengthier survey previously has gone to one in every six households and asked about everything from property taxes and indoor plumbing to education, ancestry and commuting patterns.

There's no actual structure...
I answered the census questions in 2000.
Guess what? I'm still around...the government hasn't kidnapped me or harassed me in any manner whatsoever.
