Luke Swarthout Loan Quotations

Loan repayment policies must be improved, so they do not push borrowers into poverty or discourage people from getting a college degree.

We call on President Bush to uphold the commitment to American economic competitiveness that he made in the State of the Union address by vetoing this bill and pushing for more affordable student loan policy.

This bill turns to students and families as the predominant source of revenue, rather than trying to identify inefficiencies in the loan programs. This bill asks students and parents to pay for tax cuts.
