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.
Sure…..if this were true….wouldnt Trump be bragging about it. Funny not even one major network has carried this story….and if it were happening, they would.
And this is merely ONE government agency.
Bryan Stock Um The audit was initiated before Ben Carson assumed his position at HUD, and it reckons an aggregate figure of accounting errors and not an actual recovery of $500 billion in funds. The OIG is the enforcement arm of HUD and has been led by Inspector General David Montoya since 2011. Their revised audit report issued on 1 March 2017 deals with “pervasive material errors” found in HUD’s 2015 and 2016 consolidated financial statements. The referenced audit was actually initiated by HUD’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), who originally issued an independent auditor’s report on 15 November 2016 (over two months before Dr. Carson was confirmed as the new HUD secretary), along with a disclaimer noting that many discrepancies and information gaps existed within HUD’s financial statements and notes. That report was subsequently replaced with a “reissued” version dated 1 March 2017. Thanks for trying!
I AM NOT SURPRISED!!!!! NOW PROVE IT AND CHARGE THE CROOKS!!!—EASIER SAID THAN DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee, what a shock…….. not!
NO SURPRISE
Elaine Houston Yes the errors were found but not by Carson, sorry, and that is the point of this article, to give credit where it’s not due. This administration and our so called president in particular, seems to be bent on taking credit for things they didn’t do. Stop. Alternative facts do not become truth just because it sounds good to you.
Someone is in real trouble!

Your Awesome, Dr. Ben Carson. You had my vote from day one!!
