It's hard to respond to that question other than to say that things are going backwards if there's a huge range of data we're not going to be able to use anymore. I know that in my own professional life there are pieces of work that we would have done but will not now be able to do if we do not have the long-form census this time. That's fact; it's just straight fact. So I don't know how to respond otherwise.
The focus of my work has been different in recent years, so I haven't kept up with things, and I apologize for not being able to answer the question about international comparisons. But I do know that most of the Nordic countries do a really, really good job at collecting this sort of information, and they use it better than we do in public policy.
