We may have some minor disagreements about some other things, but I want to specifically talk about the idea of using the Postal Service to help to conduct the census. GAO came in and said the obvious stuff, which is letter carriers are not trained to do this. Letter carriers have different standards for confidentiality. And. And also letter carriers get paid reasonably well compared to census workers. And that was my intuition. And then I read the GAO study, and it confirmed all of that. (04:48–05:00)
