    Michael Bennet Retweeted John Harwood

    A reminder that this proposal is coming from a HUD Secretary who wanted to spend $31K on a dining set. Raising rent for people who can least afford it is just plain wrong—especially given the administration’s reckless use of taxpayer dollars. We are better than this as a country.https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/989197182631862272 …

        Honest question; Are we better than this as a country? I know there are those of us who like to say and think we are, but I’m not convinced we, in fact, ARE better than this. We put trump in the White House, maybe policies like this are EXACTLY who we are.

        Shall we talk about lavish over the top spending by liberals mike? $31k was unacceptable but Carson at least ‘owned it’!Recall all the “value add” from your $1T stimulus bill? Literally nothing other than filling pockets of unions & dem donors. $31k va $1T. Hum #StopBitchin’Mike

        #BitchinMike again......never the whole story.....proposal has not even been made to Congress who would have to pass it! Of course, Dems like @SenBennetCO have no proposal to solve housing challenges. Imagine that! #StopBitchin’Mike

        It’s common practice for insecure dictators to attack those who can’t defend themselves. Classic schoolyard bully syndrome. They never matured past it. Right Dumble? @realDonaldTrump Keep whining & hiding behind your money. Your day will come. Soon.

        Carson's doing that to replace HUD money he are his family has misused, but he's so corrupted &ignorant doesn't realize this move will call for a hearing on such a large hike on families receiving federal housing assistance if they could afford that they wouldn't need assistance.

        Senator: First $31,000 that was never spent is not huge money for a large, quality dining room set so stop with the Socialist BS. And second, Entitlements are not sustainable. The rent charged for government housing does not come anywhere near covering costs. JM

        .@SecretaryCarson wants to triple rent on the poorest among us 'cuz of what he calls *perverse incentives*. One such incentive is a ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD. Even while already workin' 3 jobs, according to Carson, the poor need *more motivation* to help them rise up out of poverty.pic.twitter.com/BqT14G4Agi
