Research Cuts Are Akin to Eating Seed Corn

On to subjects Peter and I discussed at length in recent weeks and months:
the dysfunction in our politics.
.
We saw more stark examples last week. In the House, an amendment from Rep.
Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) excised funding for political science research from
the National Science Foundation.
.
But even more significant was the House vote to eliminate the annual
American Community Survey and the Economic Census to provide basic
information on the state of businesses and industries in the country and
data used for generating quarterly gross domestic product estimates.
.
If ever we need evidence of ideology run rampant, these actions become
exhibit A. Learning about the population and about the economy are
fundamental for a society to understand where it has been and where it is
going, for industries to plan their future investments and for the country
to be prepared for wars and other exigencies. The first census taken after
the Constitution was enacted included questions designed to pinpoint the
number of able-bodied males older than 16 to be able to assess
preparedness for conflicts and for the workforce.
.
The ACS is a critical source of data for businesses, industries,
manufacturers, homebuilders, retail stores, local governments and
countless others to understand local labor markets, housing conditions,
neighborhood characteristics and other dynamics in order to plan and carry
out their business decisions and investments.
.
It is a tool used to measure traffic patterns, income and poverty
conditions and a panoply of other information crucial to the private
sector and to state and local governments. Law enforcement relies on it to
track crime and neighborhood characteristics; emergency planners use it
for natural disaster planning and response.
.
The questions asked by the ACS are vetted by Congress, and strict privacy
controls are in place. The economic pluses of the survey are huge and
obvious; it will constrain our economy significantly if we do away with
it, and it will also make the task of law enforcement and traffic control,
among other things, much more difficult.
