WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 —

House Democrats on Friday unveiled a bill that would cut interest rates on federally subsidized loans to college students by half over the next five years.
They said they would finance the $6 billion measure by increasing costs that lenders pay to the government and reducing the largest lenders’ government-guaranteed profits.

This is good news - but why will it take 5 years? Doesn't take that long to give themselves a raise..does it!
