Loan debt. It announced a measure late in the week that democrats plan a student loan push in june. What are they proposing to do . This is a way to lower the Interest Rates on student loans. What is interesting about this you have to look at everything especially that the senate is doing this year as an electionyear push. Democrats found the student loan push helpful when they took recontrol of the senate. They have done it repeatedly. It is an issue not only with young people but with families who are being squeezed because of the higher cost of living and higher expenses. It gets a lot of attention, but i would not expect this to clear the house anytime soon.
