White House's Weekly Digest (April 27, 2012) Links to My Article

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!"
