Summary:

Discusses Federal guarantees and subsidies to approved private lenders and certain State government entities that make student loans; and summarizes recent concerns that that Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program lender subsidies have been higher than necessary. Examines P.L. 110-84, the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which cut interest rate subsidies to lenders and increased the proportion of default costs borne by lenders. Reviews student loan supply and demand, the FFEL student loan market, student lending and the credit crunch, and Congressional and executive action.
