Ben Carson: “Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.”

I would very much welcome having a long-overdue conversation with members of this committee about how we can provide meaningful, dignified assistance to those we serve.

What we are doing--that is the whole concept behind our push on Section 3 because there are 6 million skilled jobs in our country that are going--begging right now.

Those are the kinds of things that are perverse incentives that have kept people mired in poverty. We want to change those things.

That is a huge step forward, and I just want to thank you for taking the lead on this because it was really you who brought this to my attention in the first place.
