If you want to count the illegals and make a buck or two…..go to Westren Union and do your count there. Charge these illegals a wire transfer excise tax for sending money back to their countries of origin. No problemo!!

““It makes no sense that we are spending less than [in] 2000 on marketing the census when the challenges we face in 2010 are even greater,” said Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney

uuuhhhhh. Could the 4.6 – 7.2 trillion price tag for the bail-out have anything to do with it.

Not in the mind of a Big Government official, apparently. Particularly when her mission is to make government even bigger by counting all of the mammals in the country.

Did it ever occur to the author of this article that some of those groups/people simply do not want to be counted – illegal or living in public housing illegally (aunt Zeitini comes to mind)

The temporary jobs pay quite reasonably at the Census Bureau:

Thousands are needed for temporary jobs

Conducting the census is a huge undertaking. Thousands of census takers are needed to update address lists and conduct interviews with community residents. Most positions require a valid driver’s license and use of a vehicle. However, public transportation may be authorized in certain areas.

Earn good pay

Census takers receive competitive pay on a weekly basis. In addition, you will be reimbursed for authorized mileage and related expenses.
