    The absence of this data will incur far greater social and economic costs then the few dollars this shortsighted budget cut could possibly save. Please don't eliminate this extraordinary shared public resource that brings with it enormous annunity value.

    The ACS also the only survey that provides data on small towns and other local areas. It is a crucial tool for people to understand trends in their local communities.
