The Obama administration expects a record $51 billion profit this year from student loan borrowers. That’s more than Exxon Mobile made last year. RE-BLOG this image if you think higher education should not be a debt sentence…

Elizabeth Warren: Give Students Same Loan Rate As Big Banks

LIKE if you support Senator Elizabeth Warren’s Student Loan Proposal. 

BACKGROUND:
Student loan interest rates are set to double from 3.4% to 6.8% on July 1st. Her plan, however, will let students borrow money at the same rate the federal reserve gives to big banks— only 0.75%!

WASHINGTON — Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) unveiled her first bill Wednesday, designed to set student loan interest rates at the same level the Federal Reserve offers to big banks. With some student loan rates set to double on July 1 — from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent — Warren’s bill would reduce student loan interest rates to 0.75 percent, opening the Fed’s discount window to students.

WHERE’S YOUR CONSCIENCE

Looks like the “let’s make crazy laws so voting is more difficult for students” bug is spreading around the country.  The latest outbreak is in North Carolina, where a state senate bill would keep parents from claiming their college students as a dependent if the student registers to vote any place other than their parent’s address.  In Ohio, state representatives recently tried to discourage colleges from providing out-of-state students with voter ID documents. Fortunately  other elected like Governor O’Malley in Maryland are expanding voter access by extending early voting periods, allowing online voter registration, and more. When will the voter suppression tactics stop? LIKE and REBLOG to spread the word and COMMENT to share your opinion.
