Pretty amazing, the escalating cost of education has trumped healthcare.

But no one cares.

Actually, Congressman Fattah does care.

At two healthcare town halls he used higher education as an example of "public option" and why it will work. (No one told him about escalating education costs.)

Which of course puts an interesting twist on the discussion: if higher education is the model, then the pro-public option people are correct, it won't push private insurance out of the market. On the other hand it also means it will push cost increases even higher.

No one ever accused him of having strong talking points.
