Sad thing is that this unqualified piece of probably isn't even Trumps worst appointment
What a ing hypocritical tool, who broke the law wasting taxpayer money.
Whoopsies
Dude's wife starts redecorating the office, then demotes the accounting person who told them they were limited to $5000 unless they went to Congress for the fund, because of a law that Congress passed to prevent government waste.
He then goes on to spend $165000 on new lounge furniture. That is in addition to the $31,000 he spend on desks and chairs for an "office dining set".
Did I mention he was breaking the law?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"$31,561. Thirty-one-thousand-five-hundred-and-sixty-one dollars. It is a table and some chairs, funded by taxpayers — 51% of whom make less than that in an entire year."
While Carson believes that America’s taxpayers ought to give him $196,000 to decorate his “suite,” he believes firmly that the poor should be as uncomfortable as humanly possible. You know, to motivate them.
He expressed this belief last May in an interview with the New York Times:
As he toured facilities for the poor in Ohio last week, Mr. Carson, the neurosurgeon-turned-housing secretary, joked that a relatively well-appointed apartment complex for veterans lacked “only pool tables.” He inquired at one stop whether animals were allowed. At yet another, he nodded, plainly happy, as officials explained how they had stacked dozens of bunk beds inside a homeless shelter and purposefully did not provide televisions.Ben Carson, by the way, has a net worth of $26 million. As a person who is worth 26 million dollars, he believes American taxpayers should give him $196,000 to redecorate his suite because chairs that cost less than $5,000 are for peasants, but that homeless veterans don’t deserve TV. So … huh!
Compassion, Mr. Carson explained in an interview, means not giving people “a comfortable setting that would make somebody want to say: ‘I’ll just stay here. They will take care of me.’”
The idea that making sure poor people are miserable will help to “motivate” them somehow is easily contradicted by the fact that, statistically, those who are born poor stay poor and those who are born rich stay rich. It is contradicted by the mere existence of homeless people. It is contradicted by everything except what people like Ben Carson want to believe is true because it helps soothe whatever consciences they have left.

Zinke, Pruitt, Mulvaney are horribly worse, as criminal wasters of taxpayer $Ms, and destroying the agencies they "lead" to screw over America and Americans and enrich the oligarchy.

He got tips from California lawmakers obviously.
That is the ed up part.
For s and giggles watch Carson squirm when asked about his proposed budget by an oversight committee. He had no clue what was in his budget, and didn't care when asked by Congress.
Pruitt, DeVos, Perry
yep, Devos, too.

Perry hasn't done much, being a feckless asshole, but there's time.

Funny that there were some here who thought this guy was presidential material.
LOL office furniture... he can't handle office furniture.
Carson was involved in $31,000 furniture purchase, emails show

Whoops. He knew. And lied about it.
Who thought that here? Dont tell me Chris.
31K isn't really that bad if it seats a bunch of people. I just moved and spent 9K on an 8person set w/ chairs.
Oh well then HUD/Carson should have no problem giving the needy $31k each for dining sets too.
As long as it'll seat a bunch of people, tbh
Highly doubt a 31K dining set would fit in their government housing.
K, we'll settle for your 9k set.
So Chris is also a big spender with tax payer money
did he find his luggage yet?
Lol I said Chris. Meant Ken.
I don't remember who. I do remember being somewhat shocked that someone would voice that publicly. The dude is a tool.Who thought that here? Dont tell me Chris.
“Ben Carson is many things: a pioneering neurosurgeon, the author of numerous bestselling memoirs and ludicrous pop primers to the Cons ution, an earnest advocate of things like prayer in public schools, and an amateur Egyptologist and committed vegetarian.
He is also a spectacularly incompetent head of a Cabinet agency who has no business holding any public office, elected or appointed.”
