Reports: Deal Reached to Lower Rates on Student Loans : The Two-Way : NPR
“Senators have reached a bipartisan deal to restore lower interest rates on student borrowers,” The Associated Press reports, citing “Republican and Democratic aides who insist on anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the ongoing negotiations by name.”
According to the wire service, “the breakthrough came Wednesday, one day after lawmakers huddled with President Barack Obama at the White House. Lawmakers are expected to vote as early as Thursday on the deal that would lower rates before students return to campus.”
NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell tweets that there is a “framework of rates fix deal in place. Senators still negotiating lots of complicated details in package.”
