how much does it cost to count a person?

It depends.

If ACORN does the counting, Rest assured that the democrats will be counted much more efficiently and abundently than Republicans! LOL!

Isn't it funny how Obama would not dare turn over any government job to a private enterprise, except the Census to ACORN! (just a backdoor trick to sneak-fund ACORN)

But Really, we are around 310 million, so that works out to a little less than 50 bucks a head. Proof Positive that the Government is incapable of doing ANYTHING efficiently!

I know! Let's let them run Health Care TOO!!

They pay a lot to get people to do this census thing here about 18 -20 an hour so I can believe it will cost this much

A little under 50 bucks a person? Nearly $200 for a house of four?

Hey, it cost $24,000* per extra car sold for cash for clunkers, so why not?

* $3 billion program cost

125,000 net additional units sold (per Edmunds)

$24,000 per additional unit sold

$15 billion divided by approximately 310 million = $48.39 per person. Not that expensive when you think about what it takes to send workers out to find people.

You are obviously unaware of the statistical analysis the Census provides.

Dismissed.

It costs twice as much for acorn.

Yes, you can't count by 2's for 300.2 million people
