Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked legislation to freeze interest rates on need-based student loans, creating an election-year fight that could double loan costs for some college students. The motion to end debate secured only 52 votes, failing to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to move the bill to a final vote.  Republicans and Democrats agree the student-loan rate should be held at 3.4 percent for another year, but they can’t come to consensus on how to cover the $6 billion cost. Interest rates on federal student loans will double on July 1 if lawmakers do not reach agreement. Democrats have floated the idea of a rate-freeze funded by taxpayers—in other words, with no offset. But that is unlikely to pass muster among Republicans. The House has passed a student-loan bill last month that would tap a health-care prevention fund to pay for the interest-rate freeze. The Republican-suggested offset drew a veto threat from the White House and raucous objections from Democrats. Democratic Senate leaders proposed raising taxes on so-called S-Corporation businesses to raise the money for the rate freeze. Republicans accused Democrats of attacking small businesses.

This Ferrari Is Actually A Bike The geniuses behind the aluminum foil Porsche 911 have reemerged with a Ferrari FXX clone that’s actually a bicycle. It’s called the Fahrradi Farfalla FXX and it’s the coolest bike I’ve ever seen. I’d argue this is better than the Ferrari FXX, which cost $1.8 million and wasn’t street legal. You weren’t even allowed to keep it in your garage. The Fahrradi, however, can be driven anywhere your feet can take you. Why Fahrradi FXX? The team at Mimikcry say they combined the “German word ‘Fahrrad’, which means bicycle, and “i” which is borrowed from the Apple society.” Sure, that makes perfect sense. Here’s the explanation of the concept: Unlike Ferdinand, however, the Fahrradi is not a copy of an existing car model, but rather the anticipation of a future top model of an actually existing automobile brand.
