“if you are a young person who has been waiting to see a stop in these galloping prices of college education, today is a good day. Just like last week, if you were a senior, waiting for prescription drug prices to have a sane policy, last week was a good week. Just like if you were a hardworking minimum wage worker, you saw that last week was a good week. Now, we have been waiting around for about the last 12 years for good weeks to happen for the hardworking people of the United States, and this week and today those days are coming to fruition. So, Mr. Speaker, I want to say, let's vote, let's pass this tuition decrease, let's pass this cutting in student loan interest rates. Let's make college more affordable for all Americans. And let's remember that the party opposite had a long time to solve these problems. They didn't. We did. Thank goodness for it.”
