Last week Senate Democrats allowed student loan rates to double from 3.4% to 6.8%. This is a crisis manufactured by Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer.
How do we know? Because Schumer said playing politics with student loans was “a messaging winner for Democrats.” Now they are hoping to score political points by offering a short term fix, ensuring the debate is repeated during an election year. Meanwhile, college students are left without a sound solution to prevent loan rates from doubling.
Republicans have introduced legislation that keeps student rates low and creates a permanent fix. This will help students plan for their future, not struggle to to stay above water.
Sign the petition and tell Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats to stop playing political games with student loan rates. Pass a permanent solution today.
