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.
