I'm honored that the White House mentioned my recent Loop 21 article, "Obama, Romney Support Extending Student Loan Interest Rate Cut." I appreciate that the White House posted this article, because it hits upon the bigger problem the nation faces with higher education: the student lending crisis.

How much student loan debt is there?
Someone did a search and found my blog when entering that question in Google.
Here's the answer: $1,000,000,000,000
That's why Occupy Student Loan Debt is carrying out a mock celebration tomorrow. Join them.

Favorite Quote from President Obama's Speech At University of North Carolina
President Obama just wrapped up a speech about maintaining subsidized loans at 3.4%. If Congress does not act by July 2012, that rate will double to 6.8%.
Here's my favorite quote from the speech: "check this out, I'm the President of the United States, and we only paid off our student loans 8 yrs ago!"
