Student loans are the safest possible loans. Why are the rates so high. Rates should be very low. @BrianLehrer

@jmargetta: Students across the country are being told they should go to college, need an education to get ahead and that it's ok to take on student loan debt bc it will pay off in long run. Our research shows that's not what's happening. pic.twitter.com/mM4S0edrBZ
