The Census Figure in an easy to read pie chart.
$1.6 Billion under budget.
Apparently the census was well run and those godawful ads with Ed Begley, Jr. actually got people to send in their forms.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
It matters that the people running the government believe that government can work. If you believe - as Republicans do - that government is "the problem" you will run government in such a way that it confirms your beliefs. Look at the Interior Department under Bush just as an example. Or the Justice Department. Or the Agriculture Department. Or FEMA. Or... you get the idea.
It would be nice if we realized as a people that one party is actively rooting for government to fail.
