Got a letter from the census people telling me to watch my mail because I'll be getting a census letter in about a week. WTF!! Just send me the damn census form and save millions on wasted paper and postage!!:mj16:
Why does the US gov send me a letter telling me I'm getting a letter?
- Thread starter Morris
- Start date
at least I got a 1500 dollar check from him in 2008, stimulus...I still have not spent it:142smilie
Maybe by sending so much mail, the Govt thinks it is a simulus program for the Post Office.... :142smilie
I asked myself the same question yesterday. we are surrounded by morons (and I'm not talking hedgehog and trampled)
I don't understand the logic. If they are worried you will not open the census letter, why would they think you'd open this one?
US Census Bureau Explains Its Pre-Mailing Mailing
by KYW's Karin Phillips
Households across the country this week are receiving reminder letters that their Census questionnaires will be in the mail next week. Isn't that just a little bit of a costly overkill?
Census officials say they have good reason for sending a letter before they send the real census questionnaire next week.
Monica Davis, media specialist with the Census Bureau, says it helps to get more people to return their census forms:
"We actually get a six to 12 percent bump in mailback increase. And for us, having people mail back their questionnaire is really the most cost-saving measure. It actually saves the taxpayers $85 million for every one-percent increase we have in people who mail back their questionnaires."
For every household that does not return its Census form, it costs the Bureau $57 to send out a census taker.
The 2010 Census is due back April 1st.

"Hey, honey, there's another letter from the census."
"Fuck it, it's just a warning. Throw it out!"
You miss my point. If they are worried you won't open the letter, why send another letter?
