    This survey is a very important source of unbiased information about housing conditions in America. Eliminating funding for the ACS would create significant gaps in our knowledge of the housing market.

    This is a very valuable source of data that can be used to spend other government more efficiently. Used correctly, it pays for itself.

    As an economist, I know that the ACS is a vital resource for investigating levels of well-being in this country. Failing to continue gathering this data would be an unconscionable loss.

    The ACS is a crucial resource for understanding the social challenges that face America and Americans. Eliminating it would be incredibly shortsighted, and a violation of Jefferson's vision.
