Ben Carson is unqualified to be Housing Secretary. He's a surgeon. What does he know about housing? He doesn't have any sort of background in urban planning or finance. He hasn't run anything bigger than his Department at John Hopkins. Not to mention that every time he opens his mouth, I wonder if he's been sniffing the ether in the OR.
He actually ran the entire John Hopkins hospital.
Of all other persons who might be qualified for that job, he is the only one who actually lived in project housing which already gives him more experience than anyone else.
and remember the choice of Van Jones/aka, the racist to over see all of those new Green Jobs? he has no experience doing anything!!!
He did not head the whole hospital. He was the head of the Paediatric Neurosurgery Division of the hospital.
And living in public housing doesn't qualify you for anything. It's like saying "Well he'll be a great doctor because he knew was once sick. He doesn't need to study or learn how to do it" You have more information about conditions in the neighbourhood than someone who didn't live there, but that doesn't tell you how to go about fixing them. His experience of living in public housing was also 40 years ago. Conditions are not the same today.
Just because he's a black man who grew up in public housing, doesn't mean he is qualified to be Housing Secretary. Without having studied urban planning, or having knowledge of construction, or construction law, it's difficult to see how this could possibly be a good choice.
