Re: [CTPP] Congress and Killing Census Sample Surveys

by alanpisarski＠alanpisarski.com

Ed: this is what Duncan says in the statement you included. we in our profession should be smart enough to either support or refute this argument. Those who oppose Duncan?s legislation claim that our nation would miss out on vital economic data. Duncan objects to this contention, and believes there are other ways to gather information that does not involve harassing or threatening individuals to turn over personal data. ?As a former small business owner, I recognize that some economic data gathering is beneficial. However, it should be voluntary, industry driven, and not mandated by the government under penalty of law. I?m confident in our ability to develop innovative ways to gather information without harassing people, invading their privacy, or threatening them with fines. Americans are tired of too much government meddling in their daily lives.? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Christopher [mailto:edc(a)berwyned.com] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2013 10:10 AM To: 'ctpp-news maillist' Subject: [CTPP] Congress and Killing Census Sample Surveys I got this from my Association of Public Data Users newsletter and thought the topic would be of interest to those on this list.

Don't forget that the EEO flows are "swiss cheese" using technical terminology, since there are population thresholds (50,000 and 100,000) required, and therefore incomplete.
