OAKLAND, Ca. — The Census Bureau’s propaganda machine is in full gear!
The press releases and advertisements tell us that the 2010 census is a national “civic event.” By answering just ten questions in ten minutes you “help determine how more than $400 billion in federal funds are distributed.” And if you are lucky enough to receive the more intrusive American Community Survey — formerly the census long form — you allegedly assist in everything from job training for veterans to improving education for disabled children.
