  "Slow Jams" for Student Loan Rates 

In July, if Congress doesn't act to keep interest rates low, more than 7 million students around the country will rack up an average of $1,000 of extra debt each [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/dont-double-my-rates?utm_source=042512&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ]. That's why President Obama is asking students to tweet using the hashtag #DontDoubleMyRate [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/04/24/your-stories-dontdoublemyrate?utm_source=042512&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ].

The President stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, where he had a message for Congress: This is not the time to make school more expensive for our young people.
