          Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in Ben Carson's $31,000 dining set for an agency, who is responsible for housing poor people, who don't make that much in a year?

          "…..after the agency came under scrutiny", huh? He didn't know better "before" the scrutiny?

          Was it a custom order that now comes with a 50% cancelation fee? Who approved the order in first place, resign.
