stafford loans out there. anywhere from 6% to 8%, 9%. our bill would allow people holding that public debt to write down the interest rates to roughly about 3%. in addition, it also allows people with private student loan debt, which again is also at that much higher range, two writes down to about 3% interest. so that doesn't solve the problem, but it does what i think everybody who owns a house have been doing over the last few years or so in this low interest rate environment, which is going out in refinancing your home. the incredible thing -- and people don't believe me when i say this -- you can't by law right down your interest on a stafford student loan. as a result, the government is borrowing at roughly 2.5% when they sell 10 year treasuries. but they are turning around and lending or collecting loans from the past at a much higher rate. so this is not a train on the taxpayers, in terms of what senator warren and i are proposing because the government makes money off the stafford student loan program
