When he was nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson was subjected to withering criticism from leftist Democrats.
They challenged his credentials for the post, arguing he couldn’t do the job because of his lack of political experience.
In just a matter of a few weeks, Carson has shown he is more than up to the task of managing the massive agency. He ordered an Inspector General (IG) to audit the agency in order to get a real grasp on HUD’s financial condition.
What was uncovered is a shocking amount of waste and financial mismanagement, which Carson has made public. Learn more about the scope of the bookkeeping errors that plague HUD on the next page.
Well you know now where the Clintons and Obama got part of their millions .
Ben meant “frog” not “fraud”. He found a “massive frog” after taking office. He always did get those words confused.
Just wait until you see prior years! That is one messed up agency!!
Not only will they tell you it’s $500 billion plus…. Nothing will be done about it
This agency has been used like a bank and campaign slush fund for years and years. I’m guessing you have either worked for or with HUD. Those who have wouldn’t have touched that job with a ten foot pole.
I did research on this ….this is f**e..
Media sucks!
Nope, neither. And I’d like all agencies audited as I think there’s a lot of inefficiencies and misuse of funds. Plus, I like Ben very much and want to credit him for the job he will be doing, not for something he had nothing to do with. I just think these items need to be put into perspective before people get unglued as items like the original topic, get me quite upset too. There’s enough slanting of the news by the liberal media and we have enough real stuff to report and comment on.
it is the short time frame for the discovery that amazes, lacks true credibility and comes down to a matter of faith that all of the workers in the agency were involved and not a one stepped up and spoke out or posted to a con news org to point out what they see, smoke and mirrors
Julian Castro, I think Dan Antonio should do an audit of his time there.
