HUD should only stand for heads up display. Appoint someone who will see to it.

But there is. And loads of laws and spending around it.

I’d like to see Carson in the administration.

Just make him your Surgeon General. And make him wear that ridiculous uniform.

Pretty good ... I’d prefer to take fuller advantage of his medical expertise as Surgeon General, etc.
And then put someone in charge of HUD who can help President Trump ‘right size’ the department

The Federal government has been involved in healthcare since 1798, when Congress established the Marine Service Hospital, the forerunner of the Public Health Service, the Supervising physician the forerunner of the Surgeon General.

We still have a uniformed PHS. Whether we still need it is debatable.

HUD was formed to spread dollars around to political cronies. If you think it’s about housing, think again.

HUD is a dense bureaucracy and housing is a very complex subject.

Ben Carson would be clueless there—it would be a big mistake.

Trump knows lots and lots of folks with expertise in the field—he needs to go there.

Why would Trump pick Carson? CNN has told me multiple times that Trump is a racist.

said, "I thought Dr. Carson had announced he was not interested in any position in the administration..?"

I have a feeling he didn't want to be surgeon general of the US. Which is the logical first choice Trump offered. That is my guess though.

“HUD should only stand for heads up display. “

There was a zombie movie years ago where it stood for “Humanoid Underground Dwellers”

If Trump asked him—Dr. Carson would say yes. Heck If President-Elect Trump asked any of us on FR to do something 90% of us would say yes. I am sure 30% of us on FR would take a bullet for him. Dr. Carson would do a great job at anything he tries.
