Oh joy. We received our 2012 "American Community Survey" this week, the gazillion page long form that government experts assure me will take only 38 minutes to fill out. Below are the samples of the extremely obnoxious questions on the current form (courtesy of RyanUS at DemocratUnderground who complained about this government intrusion in his life!). I'm giving them the basics and expect to be harrassed the next six weeks until they finally go away.
3 million per year...so they say
“Actually enough of “just the basics” and it’s a completed partial interview and you won’t be bothered again.”
Not in my experience

Did they change the rules?
I did the “partial” thing and posted a thread about the experience. . .and mentioned I received several calls and was harassed by the ACS people. Was even threatened over the phone that I was being classified as “uncooperative” (by a census person that spoke with a VERY HEAVY mexican accent).
Enjoy my thread and you will see why just last year, after I moved and received another ACS in the mail at my new address, I threw it out. Haven’t heard from them since and its been over a year ago.

So it helps determine how much of Obama’s stash we get. Well, now that I understand how important this is, I’ll get right on it. \s
I was reading the questions and it occured to me they are doing a better job of vetting you than anyone did to the President.
LOL You’re joking, right?
But they do track racial data . They finally admitted that yes the Census Bureau did in fact have a part to play in the internment of Japanese Americans in WWII.
