Got my letter from the census

[Modbert]

I am going to wager that the Census workers don't even bother to show up at my house. One has to walk up two flights of stairs to get to the front door (upslope hill lot) - I doubt the losers they hire will make the effort.

Yeah, those people trying to make a living sure are losers.

I thought we decided to call them "alligator bait?"

I thought we decided to call them "alligator bait?"

I thought they were Americans trying to make a living by working personally. Still do.

Working? one Million census workers to count 300 + million people. That's just a bit over each of them counting 300 people.... That is not work it is waste and abuse.

O'fer christssakes.

Lets say it takes a census taker 1 hour to count each person.

and they get paid $10/hr

3000 X 1,000,000 = $3 B.

Drop in the Federal Budget.

In Michigan the rate of pay is between $11.25 and 16.50 depending on the area. Check out your state: Local Census Office Map - 2010 Census Jobs

Do you find one hour per person counted an acceptable rate? They get mileage and other business expenses too. Sad that you consider $3b. no big deal.

 

[boedicca]

The cost is inflated by at least 10X what it needs to be. I'd rather see the difference reduce the deficit than pay off ACORN cronies.

ACORN was found innocent, but keep up that meme.

Though O'Keefe has never released the full unedited tapes. I wonder why.

Maybe he can release the tapes if he ends up going to jail.

There are probably some people in Southeast Texas - only a few, we hope - who believe that the federal census form is an invasion of their privacy. Or they may think that the information on it will be used against them - or shared with people or agencies that shouldn't see it.

None of those things are true. Sensible people have to differentiate between reality and what they might hear from some drunk in a bar or read on some wacky Internet site.

What is true is that the census is important to you and your city, county and school district. It will be used to determine whether your city, county and school districts are eligible for many state and federal programs.

That affects you, your family and your neighbors. It can mean the difference between a road being built or not, or a job training program being available or not.

Please don't shortchange yourself. Fill out the form, and mail it in. You won't regret it.

no problem sending it in with the only constitutionally relevant questions answered
question #1 "how many people reside here"

 

[BasicGreatGuy]

Perhaps we should all send a return note asking why our districts should have to rely on the federal government to decide how to distribute the money BACK to our community that they TOOK from our community.

The heck with them. I am not going to enable big government ideas. What they are using the census for, is not right. I got the same letter today. I won't be filling it out.

just question #1, BGG
the rest you can ignore

 

[txlonghorn]

I got a letter saying I was going to get a letter/form pertaining to the census. People are questioning this first letter? Why? It's from the department of redundancy department.

If you can download the short form on the internet, why didn't they just send out the first letter telling everyone to go to the website and fill out the fomr online? Just think of the MILLIONS that would save. We're footing the postage bill for this shit...

That's my point. Why was no one calling for rebellion in 2000? or 1990?

who is calling for rebellion?

I was responding to this post:

The government has become too big, people are not apt to comply to a census well, when government has the innate ability to take control of everything. People will rebel

ACORN Employees have been found guilty of voter registration fraud and there are still investigations happening.

Ya' beat me to it Sarge!

What happened in those tapes cannot be disputed. They showed the abject willingness of ACORN to help in the facilitation of child abuse. The importation of minor sex slaves. Ways to cheat on taxes at the expense of innocent children. Anybody who defends that corrupt organization should be considered one in the same, SCUMBAGS!

And it's really no surprise that it's the liberals who defend that dirtbag organization.

ACORN should be disbanded once and for all!

I'm still wondering if Obama backed off from White House control of the census or not. No one seems to know......

An owner of a restaurant was recently cited for serving whale meat, all owners of restaurants should be jailed once and for all.
