It is absolutely essential to the effective planning and running of this country that we continue to gather valuable sociodemographic information to inform policymaking and business strategy. To neglect taking our nation's pulse is naive and irresponsible.REPORT COMMENTS

Where in the world do the politicians think they are going to get the data to back up their decisions about where to spend taxpayer money if they stop the data collection process? If they think it will be cheaper for the private sector to handle this....there's no way. Plus the citizen's of America are not going to cooperate with a private company poking around in their personal information.REPORT COMMENTS
