if anything else, Ben Carson is one of the most stark examples of multiple intelligences
who knew putting a man who has precisely zero experience in real estate or property law or economics, or social science in charge of the government's entire housing system would lead to this....
If you don't know and you're going to give an answer anyway, at least do it with confidence and not like a teacher called on you with a question about a book chapter you didn't read that night
Look at how the propaganda machine spins it: Fox News reports it as "Dems use hearing to repeatedly quiz, stump Ben Carson on obscure acronyms" REO is not fucking obscure lmao
I'll admit I'm not familiar with the term but I'm a broke (soon to be former) undergrad who has never owned any property whatsoever, not a 60 something year old married man who presumably owns one house. It's also incredible how ben carson appears to be sleepwalking through life, he always sounds like he wants to take a nap.
Absurd. It does have this tidbit that sounds like it was written by somebody who just discovered the Internet and now thinks they're cool though: For Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee, Ben Carson’s unfamiliarity with certain abbreviations is nothing to LOL about.
I've learned some real estate law by osmosis but its like a pretty basic part of the coursework
