Soon: "What poor/vulnerable people? There's none in the US, look at the census data! Clearly we don't need to do anything for them!" FTA: "The ACS, an offshoot of the decennial census, contains roughly 70 questions on housing, employment, education, health, military service, and other demographic details. Each question has been ordered by Congress or requested by an agency to carry out its mission. “But some of them are pretty invasive,” says a spokesperson for Steube, citing questions about when someone begins their daily commute to work and whether they have difficulty getting dressed." They're sensitive, not invasive. And the whole point is to find out if there are people with sensitive needs, so we can help them. The Republican party just doesn't like the idea of helping people. Anything that could improve people's lives gives them the willies.
