The U.S. Senate voted 52 to 45 on Tuesday to block a bill that would have prevented a doubling of student loan interest rates to 6.8 percent from 3.4 percent, The New York Times reported. Although Republicans said they supported an extension of a 2007 law that temporarily cut interest rates for subsidized Stafford loans, they opposed Democrats' proposal to offset the cost of the extension by raising Social Security and Medicare taxes for the wealthy, according to The Times. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., instead pushed to pay for the extension by removing a health care fund in President Barack Obama's health care law. Undergraduates took out $112 billion in loans in 2011, double the total from 10 years ago, according to The Times.
