Some people aren't very happy with how much the 2010 census is costing.
The total projected price tag is $14.7 billion. According to a commerce department report, more than 15,000 employees were paid for attending census training, but they either worked less than a single day or not at all. That cost about $5.6 million.
Census bureau officials say those issues have been addressed, but there's also the census super bowl commercial, which some people say was a waste of taxpayer money.
