Right Wing Republicans are just paranoid

The Right Wing Nuts have a bill for the US Govt to stop collecting census data and job information about people


The core issue is something called the American Community Survey, which the Census Bureau uses as a supplemental to the decennial reports, providing information on commuting, income, family structure, educational attainment, housing, and finance. The results are used extensively by businesses, researchers, academics, and government agencies, and have been an invaluable tool for decades.
Right-wing lawmakers, however, have come to believe nefarious government officials are collecting the information as part of a larger scheme -- it's never been entirely clear to me what they see as the point of the plot -- that must be stopped.
