Missoulian: 2010 census missed more than 1.5M minorities
“The U.S. Census Bureau released today results from its
post-enumeration survey, providing a measure of the accuracy of the 2010
Census. The results found that the 2010 Census had a net overcount of 0.01
percent, meaning about 36,000 people were overcounted in the census. This
sample-based result, however, was not statistically different from zero.”

CBO warns of US falling off 'fiscal cliff'
“In fact, under
current law, increases in taxes and, to a lesser extent, reductions in spending
will reduce the federal budget deficit dramatically between 2012 and 2013—a
development that some observers have referred to as a “fiscal cliff”—and will
dampen economic growth in the short term. CBO has analyzed the economic effects
of reducing that fiscal restraint. It finds that reducing or eliminating the
fiscal restraint would boost economic growth in 2013, but that adopting such a
policy without imposing comparable restraint in future years would have
substantial economic costs over the longer run.”
