[MR] Census Worker At Your Door

[Jeff Smith]

Actually, census data comes out every 10 years, but it is released 70 years after the date of the census to protect the people involved.  You're right that it's immensely valuable to people studying genealogy as well as it's importance to the states, counties, and cities that depend on it for distribution of federal funds and allocation of congressmen.

When I was looking up information on my family geneology, the first place I started was the population information that is released by the Census like every 50-60 years; it was a thrill for me and my Grandmother to find her name and family information listed. This listed the address, and each member living at that address.  People who work on their family geneology history rely on the Federal Census records to find family members on their family tree.

Having a Census Worker come to your door costs the Government $60 a visit--at the tax payers expense.  I can think of better ways for the Government to spend $60.

The Census helps allocate funding for your local community, funding for schools, road projects, etc...  Having that funding sent somewhere else because you take the Census as a joke?

Sometimes you have to put your idea of nonsense aside and do the right thing.  This is one of those times.
