Congress Passes Transportation Bill, Halts Student Loan Rate Hike (Demo)

On June 29, 2012, Richard Simon writes in the Los Angeles Times:

Congress, in a rare display of bipartisanship, on Friday sent to President Obama a roughly $105-billion transportation bill that lawmakers from both parties touted as perhaps the largest jobs measure of the year.

The measure also would avert a doubling of interest rates for millions of college student loans that was due to take effect Sunday.
