On the recordMay 24, 2012
It is reassuring to me my friend on the other side of the aisle is reading the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal. I am sure that will have some constructive benefit over the next several months. But here is the bottom line, a result. This is the same as the House-passed bill which freezes interest at 3.4 percent for a year. We send it to the House, down to the President, he signs it, the problem is solved. Instead of raising taxes on small businesspeople, we give back to students the money they should have had the benefit of when the other side took over the whole student loan program before. If you want a result, please vote yes. If you want more debate and delay, vote no. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
