The Homa Files

Last Friday’s jobs report included 48,000 temporary census workers … less than anticipated given the plan to eventually hire 1 million temporary gov’t workers to service the census.

Prompted a great question from wife Kathy: “Why does it take 1 million people 6 months to count 300 million other people?”

Think about it … that’s 300 counted citizens per hired temporary census worker … or each census worker counting about 2 people per day spread over the 6-months’ data collection period.

This, from the same government that’s going to eliminate waste from our healthcare system …  yeah, right.
