Therefore, his thinking will not be &#8216;inside the box&#8217; of the usual Washington elites. Also, because Dr. Carson grew up in a one-parent household headed by a mother who could not read, he is personally acquainted with the struggles that accompany <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Poverty in the United States\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poverty_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">poverty in America<\/a>. The other part of this choice is that Dr. Carson believes in helping people escape poverty&#8211;not simply paying them to stay there. Our welfare system has not improved the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Poverty\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poverty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">poverty rate<\/a>, and we have been throwing money at poverty for fifty years. It is time to find a solution to poverty that might actually work, and I believe that if it can be found, Dr. Carson will find it.<\/p>\n<p>This is a wonderful choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press is reporting in the Boston Herald today that Dr. Ben Carson has been chosen by President-elect Trump to become secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
