COST FOR COUNTING THE PEOPLE ie 2010 CENSUS

You are not going to believe it when I tell you. I mean it you are not going not going to believe it, nope!

Before I get into the cost I have an idea; On a certain day, nobody goes to work ( emergency personnel excluded, they will have their own day) at certain time, of that certain day, every body who can walk, stand or get outside, goes out in front of wherever it is they live, house, apt, mobile home, car, truck,boat (boat people go ashore, stand on the dock), bus, tent, wherever. At a certain time someone, to be pre-determined, will start the count and each citizen will count off until the last citizen( to be pre-determined) of each state is counted. After each state has finished the emergency personnel will have their day. For those who were not able to get out we'll fudge that to our best guess
