look, not sure why there's an attempt to argue with me here, i know government spending is out of control, i've already commented on that.
but to try and pied piper a group of GFYers re: reallocating census bureau ad dollars to giving away houses to the homeless is a poor & ironic choice of line items to nitpick.
and then to add that the census is yet another government tool to rope in americans makes it all laughable.

Constitution reads
"An Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
In 1980 Congress changed it with
this "statute"
"As used in this section, 'census of population' means a census of population, housing, and matters relating to population and housing."
This "legalized" all sorts of invasive data collection but they had actually been doing it since 1930 just before the bankruptcy.
It's not a "roping in" it is IN FACT now an inventory of assets to borrow against so they can continue the spending that you speak of.
