The information gleamed from the long form census used to the public through the government. Policy was created from that. Regulations came from that data. Business decisions were made. All with free public information on that great market: America. By getting rid of government's role in garnering such free information corporations will step in with market research. Only organizations and businesses big enough to be able to afford to buy such information will get it. And that means big corporations. Mid sized corporations no longer exist because of deregulation. So small business and the people (government too) will be shut out or have one hand tied behind their backs.
