This tuition thing is such a political mess. The bill that lowered rates from over 6% to around 3% is expiring. I believe the Dems pass it in the first place. Now interest rates are already much lower so the $6 billion needed to pay for "reducing" the rate is confusing at best....it does deal with the government subsidized loans...so instead of dealing with the real issues it is now a campaign issue for both sides....I listened to Pelosi a bit ago and Boehner and I don't think anything can get done. I also think Pelosi might be related someway to Todd....
