Congress Helping College Students Save Cash

Posted: Updated:

College students can breathe a sigh of relief.

Congress gave the thumbs up to stall the sharp increase on interest rates for college loans.

Interest rates will remain at 3.4%, instead of doubling.

The bill also salvaged 2.8 million jobs and will spend more than $100 billion on highway and transit programs in the next 2 years.
