Last month, House Republicans passed the Smarter Solutions for Students Act, which would prevent federal loan interest rates from doubling. With the deadline only three days away, Senate Democrats have not acted. In fact, President Obama threatened to veto the House bill and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said with unequivocal conviction, "I am not looking for a compromise." However, failure to act is putting students in danger of not being able to attend college.
