I just watched Juan Williams praise his son for becoming the spokesperson for Dr. Carson...




One liberal, two sons, both conservative.

And they say because of white decline that Socialism will become the rule of the land.


Sorry to go so far off topic.

American adult whites generally reject socialism, but with the next generation who are generally ignorant of the realities of Socialism or Communism, it's an open question.

So what exactly are those $520 billion supposed to be?

The HUD has an annual budget of about $50 billion.

Did it go up? As of 2014, it was about $33 billion. I'm trying to figure out how they found $500 billion worth of accounting errors in a $33 billion budget.

Anything is possible with Big Government.

Yeah sorry. Need something a bit more specific.

We've got some guy claiming he found a $500 billion error in a max $40 billion budget.

But you don't smell bullshit?

That's just a fraction of what you claimed Obama's trip to the middle east cost.

 

[Wrong Element]

But you don't smell bullshit?

The only sources I'm finding for this claim are fake news sites, and Reddit.

Throw in the obvious implausibility of these numbers given that the HUD budget is right up there with what the Pentagon spends on paper clips, and further throw in that Ben Carson would probably have trouble budgeting a night out at Taco Bell, and I think we're free to assume this is a literal non-story.

Bingo.

Critical thinking in action.

It's government money, it can reproduce.

Funny Bunny Money?

So what exactly are those $520 billion supposed to be?

The $520 billion is in the form of discrepancies in notes accompanying their financial statements.

https://www.hudoig.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2017-FO-0005.pdf

HUD states that the “presentation of the financial information was inaccurate” and describes the errors in its financial statements and notes as “inconsistencies.” Since the financial information reported was not correct, these statements are misleading because they imply that the information reported was correct but was merely presented inconsistently. Further, HUD states, “Overall, the combined adjustments to the consolidated financial statements resulted in a net adjustment of $3 million, but no changes in HUD’s financial position or impact to our programs.” HUD management is downplaying the severity of the condition and impact of the errors identified, which were significant enough to cause it to recall its published AFR and reissue its fiscal year 2016 consolidated financial statements and notes. While the errors identified may not have changed HUD’s financial position, as HUD states at the bottom of its financial statements, “The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements.” These notes contained errors of $516.4 billion.

Looks like somebody is trying out for the senior right wing(nut) dipshit brigade! You are worse than pavlov's dog, not just in smell and intelligence, but you froth at the mouth to any stupid opinion piece that supports your narrow minded agenda and proclaim it as truth. You are busybody sans nigger.

 

[OldJourno]

I suppose I should go back and read through the posts, but has anyone thought about how implausible it is that Carson could order an audit when he came in and that it has already been completed?
You don't do audits like this in three weeks.

Me too, that's almost as big as the Defense budget.

Then why didn't you come out with that logical response instead of firing up the histrionics with your fake news source and bold headline?

 

[Conager]

All these accounting geniuses assuming cash flow is somehow equal to the sum total of the book value of assets under its control.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

*chuckle*


Ben Carson isn't going to examine the books any more than THE Orange Don personally targeted and directed last evening's missile strikes.*

He's going to direct someone like my friend who is a forensic accountant for the FBI to go over the books.

Hatred certainly seems to be a driver of willful illiteracy and abject ignorance...





* You know, like when you guys gave the credit for killing Osama to President Obama...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Even more stupid...



Assuming that that figure is out of one year's budget... OMG.

This hurts my brain, just trying to wrap it around how ignorant politics makes people.

No trouble absorbing the yuuge figures on waste from DOD, or believing that it LOST 6.5 TRILLION dollars.

Everyone believes that there is staggering amounts of waste in things that they don't care about.

I bought my toilet seat at Lowe's...

How did Carson order an audit in Nov 2016? I thought he wasn't confirmed until March 2.

Alternative facts.

There are many things of which Carson's understanding is vague.
