Mitt Romney wants to double student loan interest and also keep it the same

Mitt Romney would have us believe that despite his embrace of a budget that would cut Pell Grants and double student loan interest rates, he also wants to keep student loan interest rates from doubling. Except notice how even by Romney's exceedingly high standards of awkwardness, his statement calling for interest rates to be kept from doubling is awkward. As in, he can barely get the words out of his mouth.

The question to ask whenever Romney has conflicting positions on an economic issue is which of his positions would benefit wealthy and powerful people. That's the one he means; the other one is the pander.

Tell House Republicans not to let student loan interest rates double.
