Oh indeed it is not a joke. Our fine government who is SUPPOSE to be tightening their BELTS, just blew $2.5 million.
I kid you not... AP reports: "Faced with record levels of red ink into the foreseeable future, Washington is spending $2.5 million to create buzz for the census — by advertising during the Super Bowl."
We need to spend $2.5 million to create a buzz? for the census? The story goes on.....
"Census officials call it a good investment, saying the front-end costs of purchasing the ads can be quickly recouped if they succeed in encouraging people to mail back their census forms. A recent poll found nearly 1 in 5 residents said they may not fill them out, mostly because they were unfamiliar with the census or weren't interested."
WHAT? These people will answer a phone poll BUT won't fill out a census. Ok I'm sorry but this administration has gone too far....again and again and again. I mean BUYING an ad during the super bowl. Good grief I'm almost afraid to watch the super bowl due to fear that Obama probably bought air time too. Lets be REAL.... $2.5 million to get people BUZZED about the census. I need a glass of wine about right now... no let's make that two glasses!
Yes those belts in Washington are being tightened. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
