Costs must be weighed against benefits

Walter Williams
This Week's Conservative Focus . . . Honoring Dr. Williams One of the first lessons in an economics class is every action has a cost. That is in stark contrast to lessons in the political arena where politicians virtually ignore cost and talk about benefits and free stuff.

BLACK AMERICANS: November 4, 2020 I was a teenager, growing up in the Richard Allen housing project of North Philadelphia, when Emmett Till was lynched in Money, Mississippi, on Aug. 28, 1955, and his brutalized, unrecognizable body later recovered from the Tallahatchie River.
