ACCURATELY.
UNBIASEDLY.
Oh look at that: New York city gets 10 new seats, San Fransicko 15....
I can have a full round of current resident ads that the addresses are exact to a T except for the new address just added, but the US Census can't get the address list from the PO and get it right.
Doesn't bode well for health care does it.
They can’t even run the census, and they want to take over 17% of our economy, our health, and make our very lives depend on them?!
announcing such things at the outset is justification for later changing results to fit redistricting and other political ends.
Wow, government programs screwed up. What are the odds?
Do you have ANY faith that they will not cheat?
I am positive they will cheat.
This is my home, not a hotel.
I don't have people coming and going everyday. I knew at the beginning of the year how many people would be living here on 4/1.
Unless someone dies in the next couple of days, the answer isn't going to be any different. And frankly, if someone in my home dies before 4/1, the accuracy of my census form is going to be the least of my concerns.
Exactly.
We still don’t have our form ... wonder what happened? Is their IT system in charge of mailing them out too?
Not so in any government system, with the possible exception of the US military.
They need to fire the project managers, and the overlords who wouldn't listen to their warnings, and fire the senior management who prevented them from completing their tasks.
One of these systems is PAYROLL!! Wanna bet that there is NO audit of payroll at the Census Bureau, ever?
At the end of a democrat administration there is simply no accountability, just more patronage cockroaches scuttling around from the light.
If I had a $billion, I would subcontract to FedEx and UPS to do the census. These guys already go, more or less, to or past every neighborhood/home in these United States, each day.
And they have computerized tracking systems that can collect and collate the data in nanoseconds.
We would be DONE in less than a month and with a fairly high degree of accuracy, IMHO.
On a separate note....The census is actively seeking to ensure that Massachusetts does not lose that congressional seat that it is otherwise destined to lose.
See, they ask whether your college student is living at home or at school on April 1.
Now, April 1 is after Spring Break and after Easter weekend...So, of course my child is back at college....and not to be counted as residing at home.
And so, even though college students across this great nation may be registered to vote at their home addresses, be licensed to drive at their home addresses, file their tax returns from their home addresses, consider themselves residents of their actual home in their actual home towns....for the purposes of the census, they are counted as being residents of their colleges and Universities...
Which brings us to Massachusetts...Just how many colleges and Universities are there in Massachusetts? And just how many students are now going to be counted as residents of Massachusetts?
April 1 is an interesting date to pick...Could as easily have been January 1....or July 4.....
Should I be wearing a tinfoil hat?
Exactly, most of us won’t count even if we filled out our forms.
How many illegals are going to be counted and how the H * * * are they going to know any different? I’m sure they aren’t about to ask if they are here LEGALLY!
The same goes with dozens of people living in the same house (SOMETIMES) during the year. Are they going to put tracking devices on them to see if they are telling the truth?! /s
this load of crap cost BILLIONS of dollars!!!
$2billion over budget and money went to ACORN.
This isn’t about counting the citizenry. It’s about paying back political interests to fund the next decade of campaign cycles.
Makes you wonder how they did this before computers. You know, when the purpose was to COUNT people?
Giving big money to fools usually destroys them as well as any poison.
Well they came to my house, I didn’t get one in the mail. I wasn’t home, they left a little note on the door. Later that day they came back again and parked on our property and kept ringing the doorbell. I told them to get off my property now or I was calling the sheriff to remove their vehicle. They left. I called them and we did it over the phone. The only things I answered was how many people lived here. It’s a count. They need nothing else. I felt a little bad because these people live in my county and they were not even aware the WH had confiscated the census and pretty much agreed with me.
