US President Barak Obama is depicting Republicans as obstacles to an affordable college education in a move to energise young voters.
He will outline his stance in detail on university campuses this week in states crucial to his re-election.
Obama says it's a question of values, warning America can't afford to let America become a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of people struggle to get by.
Obama wants Congress to extend a law that cut interest rates on a popular federal loan program for low- and middle-income undergraduates.
If the law expires, the rates will double on July 1, from 3.4 per cent to 6.8 per cent.
