Speaker Boehner announced
that the House will vote on a $5.9 billion bill Friday, April 27th
to extend the current interest rates on federal student loans.
The GOP will
offset its cost with money from what they dub a “slush fund” in the Democrats’
2010 health care law
In
a hastily called press conference Boehner said, “Today I’m pleased to announce
that on Friday the House will vote on a bill to extend the current interest
rate on federal student loans for one year. We will pay for this by taking
money from one of the slush funds in the president’s health care law.”
“You
know, this week the president’s traveling the country on the taxpayers’ dime,
campaigning and trying to invent a fight where there isn’t one, and never has
been one on this issue of student loans. We can and will fix the problem
without a bunch of campaign-style theatrics,” said Boehner.
