Arne: Don't Double Student Loan Interest Rates
Pull Quote: “As we work to get the economy back on track, no one is suggesting it would be a good idea to double interest rates on credit cards or home mortgages. Why then do some believe it’s a good idea to double interest rates for students?”

My comment for Fox & Friends segment (@ marker 2:27), “Big Brother is Watching: DOE Creates Massive Database of Student Info”:
“The data is being used to asses the effectiveness of educational programs, not to track individual students. The NY Post article is an incorrect assessment of what these new regulations set out to do.
Parents can rest assured that their children’s personal information is protected better now than it ever has been.”
