New Furniture for Ex-Neurosurgeon, Mr. Ben Carson in his Role as Secretary of HUD

Under the category of ridiculous but true, today we have news that the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which is slated for a $6.8 billion budget cut in Mr. Trump’s first budget proposal, is spending $165,000 on new furniture to remodel the office of its new chief, Ben Carson– reportedly at his wife’s insistence.  Reported in full by the Guardian.
