• Finding Savings in the Student Loan Bill

  
  The Quick and the Ed — Authority: 599
  It appears now that the student loan bill could possibly maybe potentially* be paired with some health care legislation in such a way that it could pass the Senate with 51 votes and no risk of a filibuster.

  Cato @ Liberty — Authority: 751
  By Neal McCluskey There seems to be a real trend in Washington to declare support for a bill now, but actually have the bill exist later.
