The Political Breakdown of the Student Loan Debate
The Washington Bureau of KnightRidder published a breakdown today of the student loan debate by what each party is pushing as a solution. Interestingly the author of the story doesn't believe the student loan issues will be resolved with the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.
The political debate over the student-loan program comes in the midst of the debate over reauthorizing the Higher Education Act, which pays for the government's educational-loan programs. It was introduced by the education committee's Boehner last week. While the act isn't likely to pass this year, the issue will come up again during the next presidential term.
