Quarterly, for the past year, a census worker has either been to our home, or called, and asked all kinds of very nibby questions. I was polite but I did not appreciate the questions. And they were very repetitive...things like employment, health insurance, how often do you go to the dr, how much money do you have in the bank, how much do you owe on cr cards, etc. And, we were told that there was no choice to opt out of being one of the households. The year is up...thank goodness. I will tell you very honestly...that I found the questions very disturbing.
