As if they weren’t going to fudge the numbers anyway.

If you will remember this census is now under the control of the White House.

I’m thinking fudged numbers here.

Are they creating a crisis or does one exist?

Are we getting this “news” now so that when they manipulate the outcome, they hope no one will ask questions?

They only had 10 years to prepare for this. Give ‘em a break.

And just think, pretty soon, we’ll all be beholden to their health care mandates.

Don’t it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

All they have to do is COUNT PEOPLE. How hard could it be? We did it for centuries without computers — how could they screw it up now? 1, 2, 3, 4 — it’s so easy a caveman or Democrat should be able to do it.

When they come to my door and ask me why I put ‘other-American’ for race I am going to say “Non Response F-U”

Hundreds of millions in advertising, and they forget to throw a couple million at better hardware and database systems optimization so the results can actually be tallied.

Sad.

Of course the IT problems. If it weren’t for the IT problems, the Obama administration wouldn’t be able to prove that 400 million Mexicans, African-Americans and other persons belonging to ethic minority groups, live in the United States, along with a half-dozen or so Caucasians?

ACCURATELY.

UNBIASEDLY.

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?!

IT Problems Put Accuracy of Census at Risk, Say Government Auditors

announcing such things at the outset is justification for later changing results to fit redistricting and other political ends.

We still don’t have our form ... wonder what happened? Is their IT system in charge of mailing them out too?

In a private company there would be accountability.

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.

I am thinking that the census sucks out loud.

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?
