Lower the Interest Rates of Federal Student Loans.

We ask that the federal government stop making a profit from the educational and professional pursuits of this country's middle-class. The cost of higher education is at an all-time high, and many members of the middle-class are only able to educate themselves with the help of federal student loans. According to the Huffington Post, the government has kept the interest rates of these loans well above the rates that are necessary to pay for its costs. In fact, the government expects to make $33.5 billion from last year's loans alone. Was the government's profit worth the cost of unnecessarily sacking the middle-class with a bill of $33.5 billion? No. The administration should stand with the middle-class and start fighting to lower the interest rates of federal student loans. Thank you.
