Is Talk Cheap?

"They say talk is cheap. But in fact it can be devastatingly expensive. Among the generation of Germans who were enthralled by Hitler's eloquence, millions paid with their lives and their children's lives for empowering this demagogue to lead them to ruin and infamy.

Words can shield the most blatant reality. Legislation to take away workers' rights to a secret ballot, when deciding whether or not they want to be represented by a labor union, is called the "Employees' Freedom of Choice Act." The merits or demerits of this legislation have seldom been debated. Who could be against "freedom of choice"?"

Sowell goes on to give other examples of Obama's "expensive talk".
