re: Ben Carson accepts position of HUD

Will this be the first HUD secretary to actually have lived in HUD shelters?
Or, the first ever cabinet position to have lived through the same?

I know Ben Carson grew up in a relatively poor area of a city, but was he ever in HUD backed housing? I could have sworn he grew up in a small house and wasn't aware of any project or apartment type living.

Appreciate you two taking a stab at it.

HUD is a massive subsidized social engineering department. It's mission is as malleable as the CEO of the country wants it to be.

There is literally no qualification other than to be a competent manager.

Trump's vision of what HUD *should* be in a Trump-directed America is what dictates whether Carson is an excellent pick or not.

My point being, it would be extremely premature (assuming you are posting in good faith and with an open mind) to hammer Carson as a good or bad pick for HUD.

Carson could be a stud for it... or he could be completely wrong.

Wait. I answer the question and then you try to tell me I'm wrong?

No, I'm trying to tell you you might be becoming wrong come 1/21.

This may not be your fathers HUD any longer and, as such, Carson might be the most awesomest hire ever. Bigly even.

I can see that you are just completely making crap up now.

Even if you wanted to "dismantle" it as some have suggested, it would take a large amount of knowledge just knowing how to get started and all of the pieces you would affect. Dr. Sleepy would be the last person I would place in that role.

Personally, I would take Dr. Carson on as an independent advisory role, but give him the freedom to investigate HUD and see where he sees areas for improvement. Tangling him up with the management of such a large operation seems like a lousy fit for his skills. Ironically, Trump would be a better fit, IMO, if there weren't so many conflicts of interest in a housing department.

HUD's mission is to make white people live next to black people next to brown people next to yellow people next to red people so close until they all randomly mate together to create a super race of grayish people.

Well, they do force people to not discriminate against selling or renting to minorities, but I can see your point of view as a person who doesn't like to mix communities based on race.
