The question that whether the Government should be spending millions of dollars collected through taxpayers on extravagant Super Bowl ads or not has been making rounds for quite some time now, especially in today's times when the economy isn't doing too good to begin with.

While some authority figures feel that this is inappropriate, the Census Bureau is looking to spend about $2.5 Million for this year's Super Bowl Package, which is inclusive of pre-game spots, a 30-second third-quarter commercial and on-air mention by sportscaster James Brown.

Leading the brigade looking for explanations about the amount of money spent on the sport, Republican U. S. Sen. Johnny Isakson wants the Census Bureau to justify "every dollar" being spent on the advertisements. On Thursday, he sent out a letter to the secretary of the Department of Commerce and the director of the Census Bureau asking for a strict accounting.

"I am very concerned with the amount of money spent by the Census Bureau for the production and airing of these commercials", he stressed in the letter.
