I'm with the government and I'm here to help....

Can someone tell me why I need to get a letter (written in 6 different languages) that tells me to look for another letter coming soon?  The letter arrived yesterday telling "Resident" to look for the U.S. Census packet to arrive next week.  I was also advised that I needed to fill out the census form so I can assure my local government, schools, etc get their "fair share" of government funding.  Isn't the census supposed to be about counting people, not handing out money to them?  This entitlement mentality from the top on down is what makes government spending so bloated and creates deficits that not even our kid's kids will be able to pay off.

And by the way, the advertising campaign for the U.S. Census has to be one of the dumbest ever created.
