It’s Monday, and we’re taking a look at the agenda for the week ahead: From the Pope's mission to the Middle East to a Senate subcommittee hearing on torture to the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights. The Takeaway is joined by our friend Marcus Mabry, the international business editor of The New York Times.

Hmh, $2,000,000,000,000 in voluntary cuts from the Healthcare industry over the next 10 years. Wouldn't be a wonderful thing if the Obama administration would make the same pledge? I don't know about you but healthcare is not my major $ issue. LIke most Americans I have insurance to cover it. What I don't have insurance for is for the college tuition for my kids. In 8 years, (I have 2 kids), I'll pay more for their education to keep them from working minimum wage jobs, than what I'll pay in my lifetime on health insurance premiums, $160k. Sit down and figure it out you're in the same boat. Oh, and for the most part the government controls all of the public university tuitions. Why aren't universities pledging to cut $2,000,000,000,000 over the next 10 years? Are you telling me college tuition is MORE important than our health?
