The federal government is forcing 3 million Americans to disclose sensitive, personal information about finances, health and lifestyle in a 14-page survey – including questions about availability of household flush toilets and difficulty with undressing and bathing.
The 2009 American Community Survey, an annual supplement to the decennial Census, asks about residents' personal relationships and whether a home has hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, bathing facilities, appliances and phone services. It also asks how many rooms are in a home and what vehicles are used at each household.
The new questionnaire asks respondents what they pay for electricity, gas, water and sewer every month and whether residents receive food stamps.
Question 16 asks, "About how much do you think this house and lot, apartment, or mobile home would sell for if it were for sale?"

“About how much do you think this house and lot, apartment, or mobile home would sell for if it were for sale?”
My answer: Depends on how much inflation the Fed is creating.
If I get one I will never ever send it back in.
If I get one I will never ever send it back in.

I never got one, either.
So what do you do if you get one? ‘Accidentally’ throw it away with the other junk mail? If questioned why you haven’t turned it in, respond with “I never got one,” or something to that effect? The answers to these questions are none of their business!
I can see this questionnaire finding out that I do indeed have a flush toilet...firsthand.
Do not use this as a bellweather of encroaching socialism. It sounds like the same expanded census questionnaire we were singled out for in the 2000 census. Beyond determining the number of folks on our side of the door for apportionment purposes, it’s none of their damned business (constitutionwise). With regard to confidentiality, I would not report anything that I wasn’t willing to have published on the front page of the local paper (especially with the White House running the Census). With government, there is no privacy, and those that take the government’s word re. how they do not disclose info are....(well, not fools, that’s hardly charitable), a bit too trusting for their own good.
I am one of three million and they are not going to like my answers. I kept scratching out putting other answers. It is not going to be simple to decode.
Exactly the only CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated question they need to ask is “How many persons’ live here?”, and I work for the Census, I would ~never~ fill out one of these questions though.
I will give the same response this time as I did the last: “There are 5 people living in this household.” Everything else was blank.
Nobody ever came to drag me off to jail. :)
During the 1990 census we got the long form, the questions don’t seem any different than they were then.
We need better choices in candidates from the Republican Party. We already know that the Democrats will offer commies. But the Republican Party should offer candidates other than big-spending fascists, who work for foreign enemies (globalism: CFR members, and the like) and Democrats (”compassionate conservatism, compromises, etc.), the NEA, and so on.
The plans for that census have been around for longer than five months, BTW.
“If I get one I will never ever send it back in.”
If you do not send it back in, they will send someone to your front door to get the information from you (really!). What will you do then?
Just askin’.
now get the f off my property.
In red marksalot:
F^^K YOU!
“...your descendants are gonna hate you when they try to do the genealogy”
I am trying to raise children that are smart enough NOT to research my side of the family in the first place. ;-)
Home Value: $5,000,000
Income: $1,000,000 # of toilets: None (1 outhouse) # phones: 30 Do I get food stamps: Yes
You get the picture...
“If you do not send it back in, they will send someone to your front door to get the information from you (really!). What will you do then?”
Just like I did in the last one, tell them to get off my property that they are trespassing and that they will never get more than the answer I gave on the quesrionaire, 2 adult homosapians!
Sure do hope I don’t drop that survey in the outhouse hole. It’s where I do all my important readin’, don’tcha know.
