I don't want this to be political....well I hope it's not.
This is the US census on steroids, sent to..3 million "housing units?"
We got one, Unit handles the mail and most of the bills so she's fretting over it, what to do.
To read up on it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Community_Survey
The survey is 15 pages long, VERY intrusive. Very. In intricate detail, how much did you spend on water bills last year? 15 pages.
If anybody here got one, what did you do? Did you fill it out or not? This is a ridiculous intrusion on privacy, or at least so we see it. And there's a lot of pressurized text to go with it on the envelope and everywhere else (including the person with the Census that Unit talked to on the phone) that says we are required by law to complete and submit the form, and it takes only about 40 minutes to complete it, that is, if you have all the numbers at your fingertips to do it in truth.
Anybody familiar with it?
