WASHINGTON // Legislation to lower interest rates on student loans and increase aid to poor people who want to go to college won House approval [Wednesday].
To pay for the proposal, lawmakers would cut about $19 billion in federal subsidies to banks that issue government-backed student loans.
Budget rules require nearly $1 billion of that savings to go toward reducing the federal deficit, but the rest would go to student benefits.
This from the Baltimore Sun.
