Professor explaining why when i was in college, what i wanted to major in like most kids do and i was torn between going into science and going into the humanities. I found those questions more interesting, engaging, and urgent. My First Political science course, we read the great political philosophers from plato on up. They were all asking the question, what is justice, what is good government, how can you organize government and society to make life better for people, to make justice . So before i decided to become a Political Science major, i already have lack of confidence, and social scientists, and i got good grades in science and math courses. I took a Political Science course and didnt remember the paper, you never remember is that stuff. You remember the nasty comments. This is a credible effort but never be a political scientist. I remember myself, a similar dilemma, slightly different reaction, one of the things i realized in middle school, talking about manifest destiny, i

Census, no president has ever tried to manipulate the census count in this way. In fact, just two years ago, the Census Bureau reaffirmed its commitment to do the exact opposite of what the president is now trying to do. The bureau committed to counting every person, regardless of citizenship or legal status, under the rules of congress set in the census act of 1790. The president s decision to release this illegal memo, now appears designed to inflict maximum damage to the accuracy of the ongoing 2020 census. In just two weeks, the Census Bureau will start visiting the homes of millions of people who have not, yet, responded to the census. The president s latest attack on immigrants could sow fear and confusion in communities across the country. And could lead many people to decide not to participate. This will hurt communities that are already undercounted, underrepresented, and underfunded. Addressing the chaos caused by the president s memo will drain valuable resources from the Ce
He is going to the cdc. Well talk about the tornado response in a moment. The big Economic News out of the white house though is the shift in approach when it comes to the virus. Tell us about that. Indeed. It came from the top economic advisor. Every month he does these roundrobin interviews with all the financial networks. Kudlow wanted it to be absolutely Crystal Clear with anyone who would listen to him that right now the Trump Administration is considering some economic measures in response to the coronavirus. This is a bit of a 180 especially here. Kudlow also made it clear this wouldnt be some sort of big money dump to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. We are not looking at big expensive macro cash rebates, helicopter money from the sky that never works. We want to have this targeted in a timely fashion for those areas that have been hit the worst. You hear him talking about targeted and timely. Ive heard him use that phrase at least a dozen times. He said this is sti
It has taken the bureau ten years of careful planning and preparation to make this census successful, but there is still much more work to be done. The census begins in january of 2020 in remote alaska and then in march everywhere else and between now and then the bureau has to finalize its communications campaign, conduct Robust Community outreach, finish hiring trusted local staff and perform final testing for dozens of critical i. T. Systems. As outlined in our constitution, the purpose of the census is to count every person in the country, but given the chaos and the confusion and the administration has generated as a result to include an untested citizenship question, the bureau has significant work to do to restore public trust in the census and to ensure that the Response Rates do not decline as a result. We need to make sure that everyone is able to respond to the census though the new online form or in whatever way they can including people without good internet access. People
