Look who is coming to town acorn will they know how to count are have they come to party every time you turn around someone wants to tell everybody how great gov. is. They make a big deal out of opening another office that the tax payers have to pay for . goverment has become a cancer on the back of workers. how can they keep up with the people when they can’t keep up with billions in bail out money. which one billion went to terrorist.
how much of this census will be a lie. Million spent on a census to count illegal as long as they vote dem
Darknight that is what govt. workers do best. Beat the drum about their own importance. How else can they justify the large salaries and perks they get? They just don’t get it. They are fooling no one and no one gives a darn. They will skewer the numbers to enable the entitled darlings to stay in power anyway.
Sounds like a waste of taxpayer money to me.
Just count the people and get the actual job of the census done. No need for all the bells and whistles.
