Business Insider: Graduate Students Come Out As Big Losers In The Debt Deal

"Graduate students are going to take a big financial hit because of the debt deal, according to Michael Scherer's debt debate breakdown at Time.

They currently aren't charged any interest on student loans until 6 months after graduation, but the debt deal cuts that federal subsidy. The costs for grad students will increase by more than $18 billion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The change will take effect on loans made after July 1, 2012."
