Could it be any more useless and wasteful?
- You can't fill it out online
- They think it is necessary to send a pre-letter out a week before sending the Census, urging us to fill it out. How many MILLIONS did that cost?
- The information you put in is shitty at best. Let's see, they want to know the names/birthdate/race of the people living in a house, home phone number, whether the residents own or rent, and that's about it. Wow, what compelling stuff.
I expected at a MINIMUM some household income, occupation, level of education, etc. stuff in there, and IMO well beyond that should have been asked.
Somehow the likely $1 BILLION+ spent to gather this information is going to good use? If they are going to ask questions and spend this kind of coin, put some real thought into questions and gather some good data, not this lame crap. AND MAKE THE DAMN THING ONLINE!
