Students need interest rate relief now. Congress needs to act today to reverse this increase.

We cannot let the American dream become a dream permanently deferred for millions of college graduates drowning in debt.

There is bipartisan agreement these regulations create unnecessary burdens for students and schools and should be repealed.

I remain concerned some federal regulations advanced as part of the Obama administration's package of program integrity mandates could stand in the way of the higher education innovation students want and so desperately need.

shouldn't the administration withdraw it and work with Congress to reauthorize TANF?

The president's proposed Preschool for All program would be housed at the Department of Education, but HHS plans to continue to operate Head Start and the Child Care and Development Block Grant.

These programs and proposals have received bipartisan support in the past and they should have bipartisan support today and in the future.

Of course, I have a different view. It seems to me we are seeing an awful lot of bad news that is coming out of the impending implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act and so the debate will continue.

We will not put a child in a program that is putting that child at risk.

The economy continues to move along at an anemic pace and the national debt will soon reach an astonishing $17 trillion.
