Trust, but verify: The man behind the curtain

from Subject Matter | America Out Loud News · host Paul Engel

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How often has someone told you to just trust them? And how often did that turn out to be a scam? Just like the line from The Wizard of Oz, every time a politician asks me to ignore what I’ve seen and just trust them, I think “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” That’s a good way to lose more than your money; it’s a great way to lose your rights.
