Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Next month the Education Department will begin collection on federal student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially 5.3 million borrowers. "American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies," Education Secretary Linda McMahon, a Roman Catholic convert and former Wrestlemania CEO, crowed. The US Dept of Education have previously deployed their SWAT team to collect on student loan defaults. financialpost.com

The Trumpf junta is destroying the middle class, leaving a caste system of oligarchs on top and peons on the bottom. The civil service, GI Bill, and home/school loans gave the masses the ability to move up in the world, becoming "the lace Irish" so to speak. Trumpf and Musk's vision of the US pyramid will have an hourglass shape to it with less opportunities to ascend from the bottom. Czarist Russia before the 1861 serf emancipation comes to mind.

Pro tip for you debt collectors: start with the rich folk first. Many will be Trump voters so will cooperate, understand your brutish tactics, and cough up the dough. Don't bother with the folks with brown skin, low-wage jobs, or hippie style clothing and hair. They have nothing and their credit scores are already wrecked, so you will have no leverage over them...

You Lumpers are out of control.

The decision to send debt to collections drew criticism from advocates, who said borrowers had experienced whiplash and confusion with the changing student loan policies between the Biden and Trump administrations.

I don't see the point in sending it to DebtCollectors, the Gov will only get pennies to the dollar.

Better to do what Obama did, and send in the SWAT Teams, per the other link. Think of it as training.

Fortunately for me, being a student worked out, and I got a good job in a high tech field (for now).

I was able to pay off my Student Loan with A-1.

This article is about student loan leniency granted in 2020 due to COVID.

Your Obama derangement syndrome is hilarious.

SHRIMPdick, do everyone a favor and take some basic English classes.

I'm going to need someone to translate that nonsense you posted into proper English.

Hell, go apply for some student loans. You can spend it on buying more meth.

Democrats are going to hate this - it is directly targeting their female, pink hair, feminist base that got a gender studies degree and now works at Starbucks.

You are in your late 60s and work as unskilled labor the few times you have actually been employed. Why lie about it?

Trump supporters can't put two and two together if their life depended on it.

The policy being discussed in the article is the student loan leniency passed in 2020, when Trump was President.

So far our fellow deplorables have mentioned Obama and democrats and women working at Starbucks.

Should these morons find themselves in a paper bag, they would suffocate and die.

People mention Obama because his admin opened the flood gates for student loans and did nothing to restrain universities from hiking tuition costs. I mention women at Starbucks because women tend to have more student loans (especially black women - which is the Dems most loyal voting block), tend to get useless degrees (especially the ones with pink hair) and then end up working at Starbucks unable to repay their loan.

Just who do you think is the one that can't repay their loans?

Democrats continue to amaze with their inability to understand cause and effect.

Default on your car loan and the repo man be coming.

Default on your mortgage and your house is repossessed and sold on auction. Student loans should not be treated differently.

#21 | Posted by BellRinger

But Student Loans are treated differently, by law.
Different than car loans.
Different than home mortgages.

Maybe you'd like to offer up a policy based on the reality of student loans, not a policy based on the way you wish student loans were?
