Hack of the Day

Fred Hiatt. "If the cost controls from a public option go away then Congress will magically impose cost controls that affect vested interests even more directly" is a pretty impressive feat of illogic even by Hiatt's standards. It's almost as if Hiatt saw that DFH were in favor of something, needed to develop an ad hoc argument against it, and leaned back on his familar Pain Caucus arguments even though they obviously don't make any sense.
