They said everything would have been paid for...
Told me all I needed to know about government programs.

Brother, you have a valid point.
However, your valid point doesn't justify Carson's pandering to people's prejudices and fears.
He recently did the same thing with the Jews. It is real popular right now with the not-that-far right to blame Jews.
Though he may have overplayed his hand with his Jew stunt and earned himself "Bachman" status.
