Is this interest rate defined as simple or compound?

Simple. I didn't imagine it would be considered otherwise, considering the nature of Atlasia's student loan system. (In that it is public, not private, and therefore, I would hope, more concerned with making it as cheap as possible.)

In that case I'm strongly in favor of this bill, since I oppose compound interest almost all the time anyway, and certainly support making student loans less onerous.

I can open a final vote on this bill as soon as a Senator motions for it.

Poor BK, Marokai not letting you share in any of the action. Sad



Of course, BK does hold all cards procedurallly and if he wanted to, could completely shut MB out of the fun, himself.

As I have seen no evidence that Tender Branson is a Senator, I'm operating under the assumption that there are currently 9 Senators.

With 5 Ayes and no opposition, I immediately consider this bill passed and present it to the President.

Keeping interest rates on student loans low is a very good idea.
