By Refusing To Complete Census, Glenn Beck And GOP Rep Broun Will Cost Taxpayers Lots More

I just got off the phone with a spokesman for the U.S. Census Bureau about the news that Glenn Beck and GOP Rep Paul Broun are refusing to fully fill out their Census forms.

And get this: The spokesman told me that their antics will actually end up costing the taxpayers significantly more money than if they’d completed them. The U.S. Census bureau is required by law to send census workers to the doors of those who send in an incomplete form — and those workers have to be paid, the spokesman confirms.

........................

“This is at a much greater cost to taxpayers than simply filling out the 10 questions,” Buckner continued. “It costs about $60 per house for a census taker to go door to door.”

............................

Presuming that Beck and Broun aren’t just grandstanding, and actually did only answer that one question, it will cost the taxpayers at least $120. And another $60 for every other poor soul who follows their lead.

2. They will blame Obama anyway...

If he hadn't been such a stinker they would have never said such things... he's taunting them, donchano.

He can't win:) That's ok, he has broad shoulders and a clear head.

4. Yeah, but they'll keep some temp Census workers working.

If they realized that, they might fill out the forms. ;-)

5. Someone needs to inform Beck that the census is constitutional.

6. These are the same people who like to wage war but not pay for it.

Remember Bush not putting the cost of the Iraq war in his budget? Same deal.
