James Carroll reports in the Courier Journal that Mitch McConnell and other Republicans blocked the bill that would offer relief to student debtors.
Here's what Sen. Al Franken said about the bill:
"We need to address this," he said. "Why, why are you able to refinance your home loan in this country, you're able to refinance your car loan, you're able to refinance a business loan, but you can't refinance your student debt? That just makes no sense...This is about fairness."
