Brett Wilkins: Trump Cabinet Picks So Far Decried as 'Nightmare Fuel'

“The good news is, we can win these types of fights,” said one campaigner. “We helped drive out three Cabinet secretaries from office last time, and we can do that kind of thing again.” U.S. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) applauds as former Republican President Donald Trump prepares to speak at a January 19, 2024 campaign event in Concord, New Hampshire. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty…

Trump, who ended up falling out with many members of his first cabinet, especially after the assault on the Capitol, will have as vice president JD Vance, a senator from…

Opinion: Trump’s fleeing cabinet members make me sick

Apparently, it takes an insurrection to finally raise a counter force. The fact is, too few Republican elected officials spoke out against the daily outrages of President Trump before Wednesday’s Trump-encouraged violent mob besieged the US Capitol. The violent insurrection left five people dead, sent members of Congress ducking for cover and left offices and corridors vandalized. “We’re going to…

Donald Trump’s “Game Of Thrones” Inspired Poster Is Real & It’s Here The dark "Sanctions are Coming" poster has been printed and Trump is laying it out in meetings.

Dr. Ben Carson, formerly a pediatric neurosurgeon, is the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Trump administration.  Dr. Carson was, by all accounts, an excellent surgeon, but as I have mentioned before in this blog, he should have stayed in the medical profession and out of politics.

Yesterday’s news, widely reported among the media, floored me – a jaw-dropping moment.   It turns out that Dr. Carson has a plan … a plan to raise rents on subsidized housing, in some cases as much as 300%.  This comes on the heels of an executive order that Trump signed earlier this month to expand work requirements for low-income Americans receiving Medicaid, food stamps, public housing benefits and welfare.

Hey … somebody has to pay for all those tax cuts we gave to the already-wealthy last year, right?

Carson also wants to scrap rules allowing deductions for medical and child-care costs when determining rent, which Carson says gives some tenants an unfair advantage.  Now think about this one.  He wants to impose a requirement that all adults under 60 must be employed, but take away the credit for child care?  If I’m a single mom, and I have to work, most likely at a minimum wage job, and I have to pay for child care … ???

Trump, in his budget proposal, suggested that families on food stamps be given, instead, a box of government-issued non-perishable food.  No fresh veggies or chicken, just canned beans and peanut butter.  Oh yeah, that’s healthy.

Let us not forget that it was just last May when Carson said that “poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind.”  And let’s also remember that Mr. Carson and his wife like to live well … they really like nice things.  Such as the $31,000 dining room set he ordered for his new office.  Once the public became aware of it, he canceled the order, but still …

And let’s take a look again at Ben & Candy’s 6,400 square-foot, five-bedroom house …

And now, how about, just for comparison purposes, some of the homes he plans to triple the rent on …

I do not suggest that Dr. Carson should live like a pauper, but rather that his lavish lifestyle prevents him from having any sense of what those less fortunate go through simply to survive in the world.  Just how little Dr. Carson understands about anything can be seen in his remarks last December when he offered a prayer at a cabinet meeting that included thanks for “the unity in Congress that presented an opportunity for our economy to expand so that we can fight the corrosive debt that has been destroying our future.”  He was referring to the wealthy donor tax cuts that will dramatically increase our national debt!

Dr. Carson’s own net worth is said to be around $30 million.  And although he claims a ‘rags-to-riches’ story of childhood poverty, I am willing to bet that this man has never missed so much as a single meal in his entire life!

Carson justifies his stance by saying he is doing poor people a favour, because the current system creates …

“perverse incentives, including discouraging these families from earning more income and becoming self-sufficient.”

While nobody expects cabinet members to be selected from among the poorest of poor, it would be nice if they weren’t so far removed from the day-to-day reality most of us live with that they cannot even relate to the very people they are supposed to be helping.

WASHINGTON, DC: Now we can see how Hollywood has rubbed off on Senate members conducting these confirmation hearings as they star in their own, self-created melodrama. Overtly hostile towards our next President, the Democrats vowed to make a real Punch and Judy show of the hearings, but some Republicans have also made fools of themselves.
