Are you sure it was the Census Bureau??

I'm pretty sure it was the USDA that lost the records in this story, not the Census Bureau.

Census Bureau and now Texas sets itself up

Yes, it was the Census Bureau.

Now a proposal in Texas will collect names, addresses, DL numbers, birth dates and social security numbers in order to get a pre-paid phone. That's a disaster waiting to happen. Of course, all that information will be public records.

And I'm typically handing it to some minimum wage clerk at the neighborhood 7-Eleven.
