Shouldn’t Obama be reforming the education system too?

College tuition is every bit as out of control, maybe more so, than health care costs. And for what reason? The CPI is going down, yet tuition continues to rise. Is it time to create some huge federal entity to take over all the colleges to ensure that everyone has fair and affordable access to a college education? Perhaps we should mandate that everyone have a government administered college fund savings account that they mandatorily have to contribute a portion of their earning to, or face some draconian fine if they don’t. And lets rake college eduation providers over the coals to make sure they aren’t doing anything out of line. What about those university Presidents’ salaries and bonus structures? Those guys make millions. Shouldn’t someone do something about that?

Nice post. This is another indicator of the trajectory of things. Costs of higher education are a main contributor to widening gaps between the productive/wealthy and the undproductive/poor/dependent.
If attitudes are different about these two topics, one reason might be because people sense they are gaining something of real personal and professional value from education (generally speaking). Education is gaining a positive, and health care is reducing a negative. Another reason might be that education inherently creates a sense of personal responsibility (to study and pass courses, etc), while health insurance inherently removes that sense.
