You probably know somebody directly affected by this:
Yesterday, a group of Senate Republicans blocked a common-sense proposal to help Americans reduce the burden of student loan debt.
It's depressing -- student loan debt is spiraling out of control in our country, totaling nearly $1.2 trillion and surpassing both credit card and auto loan debt in size.
This bill simply would have allowed folks to refinance their loans at today's rates.
But there are 40 million Americans who need some relief -- add your name and fight for a fair way to reduce the burden of student loan debt:
