Stop the Increase of Federal Student Loans

Do NOT double the interest rates for federal student loans for students who do not even have careers yet.

Why is this important?

College students around the country who have federal student loans will be forced to pay double the current interest rates on July 1st. Math wise, a $1000 loan will incur $816 in interest every year, and considering many of these loans are more that $1000, this could really add up over the years. Congress has an opportunity not to raise our interest rates and those of others. In this economy, someone's interest rates and taxes will be increased, but I believe it should be those of people in Congress, who already have a job instead of students like me, who are not guaranteed a job after graduating.
