Senate Republicans filibuster student loan bill

7. Here's what

Why would the Republicans abandon this incredibly useful tool now? Every time they hold something up, they get something they want. They never have to pay a price, nobody ever holds them to account for their obstructionist ways. At the most, someone might say, schoolmarmishly, "Play nice, now!" And the sniggering bullies just laugh and wait to see what their reward will be this time. More money for defense contractors? Further cuts to programs that help citizens who might vote Democratic? What policies, priorities or personnel will Democrats sell down the river this time to appease the Republicans? And why in the world would the Republicans stop using such a winning tactic? It always benefits them and never costs them.

...I see: 52-45. That means every Democrat voted for it. It's pathetic. Good news for you: Democrats can stand their ground. It's an election year, and the issue isn't life or death and no one will starve or lose their home until the election. The students will get screwed with higher interest rates for awhile, but at least they can pin it on Republicans. Now, if only that would translate into Republicans losing their seats.
