The ACS provides many people with an excellent source of data about what is happening. Failure to have the ACS means ignorance will increase. We well be much less able to know what is happening. Ignorance is not bliss - it is a disaster. Why do we want to reduce knowledge as the world's economies become increasingly knowledge based?REPORT COMMENTS

The American Community Survey is a useful tool that shows the ability of the federal government to wisely spend money on something that is useful to a wide variety of people, including the job creators who are so often cited in daily political discourse. I urge you to oppose cutting off funding.REPORT COMMENTS
