El proyecto de ley de Merkley permitir\u00eda a los prestatarios refinanciar sus pr\u00e9stamos federales para estudiantes al mismo tipo de inter\u00e9s que los grandes bancos obtienen a trav\u00e9s de la ventana de descuento de la Reserva Federal: actualmente, el 3 por ciento. Dado que el prestatario promedio de pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles paga actualmente tasas de inter\u00e9s de alrededor del 6 por ciento, y algunos prestatarios enfrentan tasas a\u00fan m\u00e1s altas, la refinanciaci\u00f3n podr\u00eda permitir a muchos estadounidenses ahorrar miles de d\u00f3lares durante la vigencia de sus pr\u00e9stamos.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cComo el primero en mi familia en graduarme de la universidad, experiment\u00e9 de primera mano el poder de la educaci\u00f3n para cambiar tu vida\u201d. <b>dijo Merkley.<\/b> \u201cTodav\u00eda vivo en la comunidad obrera en la que crec\u00ed, pero hoy en d\u00eda, muchos padres en mi vecindario tienen miedo de enviar a sus hijos a la universidad porque temen terminar con una deuda inasequible alrededor del cuello. La educaci\u00f3n superior deber\u00eda ser un camino asequible y accesible para la clase media, no un privilegio reservado para los ricos y bien conectados. \u00bfNo merecen nuestros estudiantes las mismas tasas de inter\u00e9s bajas que obtienen los grandes bancos?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDurante las \u00faltimas d\u00e9cadas, el costo de un t\u00edtulo universitario se ha disparado y ha provocado que los prestatarios de todo el pa\u00eds acumulen cantidades sustanciales de deuda por pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles. En Nueva Jersey, los estudiantes tienen la asombrosa cifra de $43 mil millones en pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles. Esta deuda abrumadora no s\u00f3lo es una carga para nuestros estudiantes, sino que a menudo los empuja al incumplimiento\u201d. <b>Booker dijo.<\/b>&nbsp; &quot;Nuestro proyecto de ley representa un paso importante para abordar esta crisis al brindar a los estudiantes la oportunidad de refinanciar pr\u00e9stamos universitarios con las mismas tasas de inter\u00e9s bajas que obtienen las grandes instituciones financieras&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLos estudiantes universitarios de todo el pa\u00eds est\u00e1n sepultados en deudas cuando se grad\u00faan. Esta es una crisis que est\u00e1 frenando a toda una generaci\u00f3n de estadounidenses y el Congreso debe actuar ahora para resolverla\u201d.&nbsp;<b>dijo gillibrand<\/b>. \u201cEstoy orgulloso de apoyar esta legislaci\u00f3n para permitir finalmente a nuestros estudiantes refinanciar sus pr\u00e9stamos federales para estudiantes al mismo ritmo que cualquier otro tipo de pr\u00e9stamo, porque el gobierno federal no deber\u00eda obtener ganancias a costa de nuestros estudiantes. Insto a mis colegas a que luchen conmigo para aprobar este proyecto de ley que se necesita con urgencia para que podamos ayudar a aliviar esta enorme carga para nuestros graduados\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Los pagos inasequibles de pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles no s\u00f3lo perjudican a los prestatarios individuales; perjudican a toda la econom\u00eda. A medida que la deuda estudiantil se ha disparado en todo el pa\u00eds, muchos j\u00f3venes estadounidenses han pospuesto la compra de casas, la apertura de sus propios negocios o incluso la formaci\u00f3n de familias mientras enfrentan la carga de sus pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>El <i>Si es lo suficientemente bueno para los bancos, es lo suficientemente bueno para la ley de estudiantes <\/i>permitir\u00eda a los estudiantes con pr\u00e9stamos federales para estudiantes refinanciar sus pr\u00e9stamos a las mismas bajas tasas de inter\u00e9s ofrecidas a los bancos a trav\u00e9s de la ventana de descuento de la Reserva Federal.
