Senate Leaders Claim Student Loan Deal Reached
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced an agreement to keep new subsidized Stafford loan rates at 3.4 percent through next June 30, avoiding a doubling to 6.8 percent. House Speaker Boehner must decide if the plan suits the Republican chamber. The pact aims to end a major partisan clash and avert a $1,000 higher cost per student over the life of the loan. White House welcomed the move and urged rapid passage.
