Now if They'd Only Do The Same For Oil And Pharmaceuticals

My Way News - House Moves to Update Higher Education Law:

Bill sponsors hope to have influence over tuition, for example, by ordering schools that raise prices significantly to face scrutiny.

Any school that increases its tuition more than twice the rate of inflation over a three-year period would have to explain why.

So much for a free-market approach! Why not just adjust student aid according to cost? Is education less worthy than, say, energy or health? Seems to me one leads to the other because without education we lose our edge on the others. But that's just me thinking.
