As he toured facilities for the poor in Ohio last week, Mr. Carson, the neurosurgeon-turned-housing secretary, joked that a relatively well-appointed apartment complex for veterans lacked “only pool tables.” He inquired at one stop whether animals were allowed. At yet another, he nodded, plainly happy, as officials explained how they had stacked dozens of bunk beds inside a homeless shelter and purposefully did not provide televisions.
From the NYTimes
For comfort the poor have no need.
So let them a little bit bleed.
It makes them strapping
And keeps them from napping.
(Though Ben Carson hopes they don’t breed.)
