Subject: public comment on federarl register Fwd: shut down these endless surveys - lay off half the dept instead - cut taxes to fund these useless employees

this survey does not need to be done annually. the costs for this annual survey are in the billions and taxpayers want cost cuts in governmetn these days. taxpayers are paying for all this unused information that is collected. america has no need for this survey every year. do it once every 5 years. you certainly have enough information on increases, decreeases after doing this same survey for the past 53 years. the cost for this survey for the past 53 yearsis enormous. and nobody knows what good this survey has done at all. it is largely ignored.

 i do not think this spendthrift increase of spending is worth it. this project needs cutting to 5 years out. we get too much government these days collecting completely unused information. our govt keeps growing like a monster, gobbling up all the tax dollars in sight, causing americans to lose their homes due to high taxes. this is far too burdensome a collection. shut it down for 5 years.
