In March, the administration announced it would no longer produce the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation...

The SIPP is being superceded by a program called DEWS (Dynamics of Economic Well-being System), due to increasing problems and costs collecting data with the current system. The controversy, mostly from researchers who routinely use this data, involves concerns about possible gaps in the data until the new system is mature. SIPP was funded in 2007, and while initially dropped from the 2008 budget, it has (as of last month) been restored until the DEWS program is more mature.

In 2005, after a government report showed an increase in terrorism around the world, the administration announced it would stop publishing its annual report on international terrorism.

The Washington Post story on this is from April of 2005. The State Department is no longer publishing the figures, but the NCTC is, which is why the State Department isn't. The 2006 report can be found here.. It's interesting to note that this report was greeted with attacks from all sides about the increases shown in the data. The Left, with its usual complete incapacity to integrate one thought with another, still has no problem simultaneously browbeating the administration on the data while accusing them of keeping the data secret.

After the Bureau of Labor Statistics uncovered discouraging data about factory closings in the U.S., the administration announced it would stop publishing information about factory closings.

The Mass Layoff Statistics program at the BLS seems to be doing just fine, thanks. Here's the website. Knock yourself out.

When an annual report called "Budget Information for States" showed the federal government shortchanging states in the midst of fiscal crises, Bush’s Office of Management and Budget announced it was discontinuing the report, which some said was the only source for comprehensive data on state funding from the federal government.

This one is technically true, but the BIS is hardly the only source for comprehensive data on Federal funding for states. Other data sources include the Federal Assistance Award Data System (FAADS), the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA), and the Federal Assistance Programs Retrieval System (FAPRS).

Those stating that this leaves states in the dark are lying.

When Bush’s Department of Education found that charter schools were underperforming, the administration said it would sharply cut back on the information it collects about charter schools.

The survey simply changed from a sample of 1,000 schools to 300 randomly selected charter schools. One reason for this was because the methodology was changed from telephone surveys to include actual visits to the schools. Note that the sampling used for the report that said charter schools weren't doing as well as public schools was 150 schools.

These were not cherry-picked, but just the first five in order. At this point, it's gotten to be work.
