God Is Great! Ben Carson accepts position as HUD secretary

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Carson has ZERO qualifications for this job.

Its great that you don't have a say in the matter.

It IS a great choice and there's NOTHING you can do about it.

Just sit down, shut the hell up, and enjoy the ride.

That's all you can do, and it's gonna be like that for the next 12 years.

Democrats will never win another election. Dumbocrats will never win another presidential election...and we will not stop until every last Democrat in office anywhere in America is defeated, until there is no 1 left!

Libs aren't worried about Ben's qualifications. They're worried about an inspirational black Republican lifting minorities out of poverty.

he's passionate...HE'S PASSIONATE!

the Obama cabinet = RULE-BY-EXPERT.

It's dehumanizing and mechanical.

in a technocracy, the important policy decisions are made in faraway offices that are insulated from society.

The Trump cabinet is RULE-BY-THE-PEOPLE. WE WILL DRAIN. THE. SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMP!

here's the failing NY Times bitching about Sleepy Ben:

Antigovernment ideologues resent the Department of Housing and Urban Development even when they know nothing about it.

Ben Carson seemed to suggest that segregation was a natural element of civic life.

Last year, Mr. Carson accused HUD of “social engineering” for requiring state and local governments that receive federal housing money to stop dumping subsidized housing in poor neighborhoods and instead locate some of that housing in healthier neighborhoods where residents would have access to transportation, jobs and decent schools. His comment betrayed a distressing ignorance of HUD’s mission, the laws under which it is supposed to operate and, more broadly, the history of housing segregation in the United States.

A prominent Harvard study last year found that young children whose families had been given housing vouchers to move to better neighborhoods were more likely to attend college — and to attend better colleges — than other children, and had significantly higher incomes as adults. This form of economic integration could be crucial to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty.

That point is beginning to hit home with both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. The House speaker, Paul Ryan, in an antipoverty plan he released in June, called on the government to make housing assistance vouchers portable so that recipients could move “up the economic ladder” by moving to places with better education and job opportunities.

Carson has ZERO qualifications for this job.

Carson isn't qualified to run HUD, you know, like the current guy who improperly spent HUD money when he was a Mayor

HUD: Castro's city misused money

You just equated Carson to a guy you don't think is qualified.

Carson is the ultimate token black. Jeepers, how obvious can that be?

Carson answer on AFFH is perplexing. He wants local solutions, but that's what AFFH requires. So does he support it, or not?

Ben Carson tongue tied when asked about Trump benefiting from HUD $ 'It will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any American'
