Saving $85 Million


My friend, Jessica says:

"It costs taxpayers just $0.42 per household if the Census form is mailed back, but it costs $57 per household to follow up with people who do not respond by mail. That means that for every 1% increase in the number of households that mail the form back, taxpayers save about $85 million."

She would know, she works for the Census Bureau.

Okay people, we've sent ours in, send yours too!
