"$5,000 will not even buy a decent chair". Allegedly said by a HUD official. Do you agree or dis?

Everything is relative of course. This is what someone who is very wealthy would say because $5000 is chump change to such people. What such a one thinks is a "decent" amount is unknown at this time.  Have  you ever paid $5000 for one piece of furniture? Was it decent?

    Did you see this Dr. Ben Carson in the senate?  He is on drugs. 

    He can barely talk and they are just acting like he is normal.  He is on something.

    He is being questioned and acting like he is nodding off in the middle of the inquiries.

    He's on tranquilizers at least.   I cannot stomach this man.

    Dr. Ben Carson a drug addict? gee it sure would be easy for him to get drugs. Found this comment very interesting.

    Diane B. Doumit ... He is high ... Ben Carson is perpetually high ... on drugs ... prescription drugs ... possibly benzos/benzodiazepines (as Xanax or maybe Valium) ... possibly opiates (as Oxycodone or maybe even Dilaudid ... only a few notches less addictive than heroin) ... possibly both ... benzos and opiates ... I have been commenting about this on Facebook for weeks ... maybe over a month ... definitely since I first began to notice what seemed to me to be some very obvious signs and symptoms of substance abuse that probably crossed the line a long time ago and now more so fit the criteria for addiction ... You are correct in noting how he closes his eyes and mumbles his answers to questions ... There are though many more indications of a serious drug problem that I have been observing from the vantage point of a Registered Nurse of over 33 years, who has worked a good deal in the areas of Psych and Mental Health and Chemical Dependency ... His mouth is always very, very dry ... His eyes are always glazed with a very glassy look ... His eyes also are either totally closed or squinting or rolling upwards and back in his head ... His speech is slow ... almost slurred ... His words are as you described quite mumbled ... His 'affect' (presentation to others) is flat and blunt and almost void of emotion ... His thought processes are not at all 'normal' ... While the words that Carson uses to communicate his thoughts are not fragmented like Trump (who definitely has his own psych issues), his ideas ... Carson's ideas ... are not at all reality based with regard to more than a few topics and issues ... While it is highly unlikely that Neurosurgeon Ben Carson would submit a random urine spec for drug screening if asked, my guess is that there is a good chance that very high concentrations of benzos/benzodiazepines and/or opiates would be found ... While the comments of at least a few people on Facebook have posed the possibility that the brain surgeon might be exhibiting signs and symptoms of early onset Alzheimer's disease or dementia, I personally disagree ... Having worked with a lot of people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that Carson's dry mouth and squinting eyes and slow slurred speech in particular are not typically amongst the more common signs and symptoms of any neurological disorders as Alzheimer's or dementia ...

    Thank you for a very thoughtful, comprehensive and informative reply  Sharon. The photo looks like it came right from an Actor Studio portfolio. He always spoke very slowly as  if the words he was forming in his mind were not cooperating with him. He always came across as dull, slow-witted and out of his element.  There was rarely common sense/logic. It was mostly gibberish. His awarding his kid a no-bid contract in the hundreds of thousands of dollars with his HUD budget and allowing his wife to "go around"  the limit of $5000 to buy $31,000 worth of furniture with the HUD budget clearly shows there is no one at home. He is easily led by his children and his wife. He may not be all there anywhere he is in fact. Another perfect choice of little donnyjohnny.
