Reps. Darrell Issa and Patrick McHenry write that the census should be free of politics, and I completely agree. Life would be better if most things were free of politics.
Wishing won’t make it so, sadly. The census determines House seat redistricting. It also helps direct where billions of dollars worth of federal goodies are spent.
The census allocates power and money, in other words. Of course it’s going to be politicized!
