21. Sure, we all do. But every small "needs" group swamped

under the constant yammering of majorities for what they want is a minority. The census vastly amplifies not just their voices, but those of many who are going to develop those special needs over the next decade but don't know it.

And, then of course, there are things like who gets money for roads. If we're not in town or a wealthy neighborhood, we're in a minority group. Is that group going to need better roads to commute to the city instead of local low-pay jobs, have high birth rates over the next decade, or accelerating need for emergency healthcare?

Dems of course need to know, anti-government cons are fighting to keep it unknown.
