President Donald Trump's administration will reportedly begin seizing wages from up to 5 million student loan borrowers who are behind on their payments.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education confirmed the plan to CNBC.

Borrowers' paychecks have not been at risk since the COVID-19 pandemic. The education department will begin sending out notices to around 1,000 defaulted student loan borrowers during the week of Jan. 7, CNBC reported.

Why did they go to school? If they wanted to thrive in 'MuriKKKa, why didn't they just get daddy to give them $100M?

borrow someone else's bootstraps. If gawd wanted the teeming unwashed masses to be educated he would have made them rich enough to afford it.

He has overseen the loss of jobs for over a million workers, messed up the supply chain and raised prices with tariffs and folks are fleeing to silver and gold as the only safe haven investments given all the economic chaos. In an economy held up mostly by consumer spending, taking money from consumers is a really dumb thing to do with no good end.

Of course they aren’t. Harass regular people and give the rich/corporations a free pass.
