Eliz. Warren wants to cut student interest rates to near zero
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has introduced her first piece of legislation. It’s called the Bank on Students Loan Fairness Act, and would reduce the rate students pay on federally-subsidized student loans for one year, from 3.4% to 0.75%.
Without congressional action, on July 1 the rate is set to double from 3.4% to 6.8%.
Warren brings up an interesting point – her bill simply asks students to pay the same rates that big banks pay for borrowing.
She’s literally just asking if college grads can get the same deal as bank CEOs. The exact same interest rate. Not even a bailout or anything fancy (pipe dreams!) - just the same interest rate.
please let this pass

According to Yahoo, tumblr is worth $1.1 billion. According to tumblr, there are 108 million blogs on tumblr.
That means that each blog, on average, is worth about ten dollars and 18.5 cents.
Congratulations, your blog is worth less than a large one topping pizza at Pizza Hut.

Females: I want equal rights.
Females: You can’t hit me I’m a female.Females: I want equal rights and i don’t want you to hit me because I am a human being and I don’t like being hit
Even if they throw the first punch?
how about no one hits anyone because hitting people is wrong
Where does one find these people doing all the hitting?
