Ben Carson is a dick..I am disabled and live in HUD housing

[jodymarie aimee]

“[We don’t want] a comfortable setting that would make somebody want to say: ‘I’ll just stay here. They will take care of me.’”

 — HUD Secretary Ben Carson, on affordable housing

My neighbors have no legs, brain cancer, are mentally handicapped.

1. Carson is a typical con, problem is he is the wrong color and he better

make sure he never crosses the real cons, they will shank his ass in a heartbeat.

14. You got that right.

[TBA]

2. Yep I have a friend in HUD housing

Severe Cerebral Palsy. She should take better care of herself and maybe that BIRTH INJURY will go away.

I also house two disabled people in my home, my son and his girlfriend. But my friend has no family.

4. Mo Brooks would blame your friend for her poor life choice

I mean, who would choose to have cerebral palsy? Bad choice! Just suffer til you die! Oh, and don't call me cruel or heartless because that's really mean and hurts my feelings.

3. Well hopefully a little tough love from Dr. Carson will help them get their shit together

A few more bedbugs, a broken furnace or two and your neighbor will be sprouting legs and running out of there in no time.

5. My 75-yr-old Aunt lives in Section 8 housing. She uses a walker; has severe glaucoma; has high

cholesterol.

I seriously could torture Ben Carson. These men take the milk of human kindness right outta me.

6. My old apartment was a Section 8

building. They were by no means luxury sweets at the 4 seasons. Almost every person in that building was disabled in some way. People are living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck and this fucking idiot thinks we are living the high life.

Fuck these people.

7. Perhaps that is why he was fired from Johns Hopkins?

[Skittles]

8. it's not you, it's him

thankfully, we Democrats know that

9. What do you expect from a village idiot that thinks the pyramids were built as a granary?

[PatSeg]

10. The lack of compassion

in the republican party is appalling. If Ben Carson had his way, we have even more homeless than we already do. Affordable housing should be available for everyone.

11. Listen folks. You're missing the big picture on why we have little affordable housing in a sea of

cheaply built luxury condos, high rises, and single family mini-mansions. There is a link to the onslaught of laundered money in US real estate. Too much to go into here but do the research back to 30-40 years ago. Think, Russia, China, Turkey, Japan, SA, Ireland and a few Scandinavian countries. Learn about the number of undocs in the country that are NOT from Mexico.

Who is priced out of cities? Who is behind gentrification? Where do all the people go who are displaced?
Just a few questions to ponder. Who owns these development companies that spring up all over the country building these self-contained neighborhoods that the average working person cannot afford to live in? THINK!

12. You expected any better from Carson?

Same guy who *STILL* says the Egyptian pyramids were for storing Joseph's grain?

[NastyRiffraff]

13. He's more than a dick

He's a cruel monster.
