Sound crazy huh? That is how much we spent on advertising for the census. Goodness, I never got a hat or t-shirt. Even better - the hats and shirts were not made in USA. LMAO where did our jobs go?

Hats and tee shirts???? The only thing I got was bored by the commercials I keep seeing on television. I will tell you this though...since the Census is creating jobs for some folks down here in Hooterville, where unemployment is very high, I decided to help. I have filled out my little form...so has my daughter nextdoor. But we haven't mailed them in. We're going to wait for someone to show up and then hand them to whoever it is. Might as well help keep someone employed for an additional five minutes.

Do you realize that these people collecting unemployment, and have gone to work for the census, will be unemployed after 6 weeks and will not be able to collect unemployment.

I wonder if all those new census workers were illegals.
