Wasn't necessarily surprised.
The Education Department kind of signaled that this was coming.
But there has been definitely a debate on Capitol Hill.
Democrats, especially more liberal ones, have been pushing for this.
Republicans have not.
They feel like it's time to get back to normal and have, in fact, criticized this latest extension.
Yes, that's right.
