Trump administration to garnish wages of 5.3 million defaulted student loan borrowers this summer
The Trump administration is set to garnish the wages of the 5.3 million federal student loan borrowers in default in just a few months.
You're viewing a single thread.
The US total population is about 340 million. Those 18 and older is about 254 million.
With 5.3 million defaulted, that means 1 of every 68 adults has defaulted on a student loan.
At any given time, a large grocery store has 1-5 people who defaulted on a student loan.
There is clearly something wrong with the US society with that many people who can't pay for an education, which is needed to barely get a job.
and the answer to this problem? let's kick those already on the floor!!. fuck yeah murica
Once again I'm happy to inform you that yes, it's Ronald Reagan's fault. Damn his evil soul.
In pants shitting fear of "Creating an Educated Proletariat" Reagan took our system of basically free college and turned it into this mess we have now.
(P.S.: If you piss on Ronald Reagan's grave in California and are caught by police its a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine. I don't know about you but I can budget for this particular bucket list item)
And Reagan adopted his policies from the owner class think tanks. They worked for decades to create the conditions and people needed to realize what transpired under Reagan. 🥲
Yup, my parents paid for tuition, books, leisure, food, and board working a summer job.
I had to use the GI Bill, a part time job in fall, winter, and spring, full time job in the summer, doing almost no leisure, money I saved up while in the military, and money my grandparents gave me
Joe Biden was the Senator most responsible for making those loans undismissible. There is plenty of blame to go around.
And that was the last thing he ever did regarding student loans. 40 years ago. Nothing since. The end. 🙄
For the record, I already acknowledged what he did as president in a response to another reply. Biden was quite a bit better as president than I thought he would be (for good historical reasons) and I give him full credit for that.
That would be relevant if Biden were currently president, and it would have been somewhat less relevant had Biden even been the Democratic nominee for president in 2024.
But Biden wasn't even on the ballot. It's almost completely irrelevant.
When people talk like this, it just reminds me of how they talked about Hillary for Trump's entire first term.
It just gives off the air of bad faith. We're talking about things that are happening right now and are relevant to millions of people. Former politicians can't be anything except a diversion.
They are a known both sideser
God forbid the Democrats ever get criticized for anything. 🙄
I see more criticism of Democrats than Republicans on this website.
Just my personal experience.
No you don't. This place is filled with articles and tens of thousands of comments criticizing the shit that Republicans are doing and Democrats are helping them achieve a lot of their goals, so why shouldn't we throw these people under the bus too? Quit treating politics like a team sport and wake up to the fact that they're working together to fuck us all over.
That would be relevant if Biden were currently president
LOL, is Reagan currently President? Read what I replied to before telling me if my comment is relevant.
- Reagan did this in the 1980s, Reagan as always, was a big source of modern issues in America.
"Yeah that makes sense, he was the 2nd worst Republican."
- Biden did this in 2005, and was okay with it until recently.
"Why are you bringing up someone who's no longer president? Why do you hate the guy who didn't try hard enough to fix his mistakes?"
Weird how calling someone out from a while for their actions works, but not calling someone out for their actions.
Do they do group rates?
