"You have been conditioned to think that only politicians can solve our problems... but at some point, maybe we will wake up and recognize that it was the politicians who created our problems."

— Dr. Ben Carson (Neurosurgeon, 2016 Presidential Candidate, and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development who left a trail of poisoned children, murdered tenants, and $40 million wasted on a broken inspection app.

Dr. Carson ... emperor with no clothes?

Sir, this quote would be devastating... if your HUD tenure hadn't: Failed 9 of 12 public housing inspections (5,405 violations, 25% life-threatening), ignored lead paint as 70+ children suffered poisoning (ProPublica), and cut $1.5B from housing repairs while your agency lost $93M to shady contracts. This isn't just irony—it's criminal negligence with a pension.

The "Wake Up" Paradox

You want Americans to "recognize" politicians cause problems? We do. During your four years at HUD:

Housing: Slashed budgets while units collapsed (35% cut).

Safety: Ignored warnings before a tenant's murder.

Health: Let children chew lead paint like bubblegum.

Tech: Burned $40M on an app that failed basic math.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Yep! Politicians fail. But you didn't wake up—you cashed out: $199,700/year salary while cutting veteran housing.

But you're right that politicians create problems. But walking away from poisoned kids, dead tenants, and a $40 million tech debacle—then resurfacing to moralize from the MAGA echo chamber? That’s not accountability. That’s gaslighting with FCC Chairman Carr’s Trump-head lapel pin.
