HI Clo:

It's not about student loan rates. It's about how to finance them. The usual circle-jerk.

Republicans said they favor preventing the interest rate increase but blocked the Senate from debating the $6 billion measure because they oppose how Democrats would pay for it: Boosting Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes on high-earning stockholders of some privately owned corporations.


The Obama administration on Friday threatened to veto a House Republican bill that would keep the interest rate on federally subsidized student loans low for another year, and pay for it by eliminating a federal preventive health program.
