This afternoon, President Obama is traveling to UNLV where he’ll push Congress to pass his proposals to create jobs and help middle class families. Specifically, he’ll speak about his proposal to stop student loan interest rates from doubling, which would hit millions of hard-working middle class students and their families with the equivalent of a $1,000 tax if Congress doesn’t do its job and work together on a solution to keep rates low.
