Because its the right thing to do but i cant. And i said i wouldve voted against it because it would help me politically but i cant. But everyone knew it was going to be listed. All of the rhetoric would take place, the accusations. But eventually we would vote to raise the debt ceiling as we always did. And it was amazing to me that eventually became such a critical issue that it could have resulted as the country going into default, an issue that the Previous Congress had been debated and people express themselves and they knew what they needed to do at the end and we are in a different kind of environment now. Speaking to the governor earlier about the Business Community and how they are looking for certainty and stability and how that is one of the reasons and they will send an extension with some conditions.

And i thought about my own student loan coming out of graduate school, which i havent paid off yet. President obama and Michelle Obama didnt pay their Student Loans off until the year before went into the white house. We are shackling our young enormous amount of debt. Were charging them higher interest rates. Paying 7. 5 interest on my student loan, but my mortgage is 3. 87 . Why are we doing this . Loandressing the student and the rising cost of higher ed is key.
