As the Trump administration resumes collections on defaulted student loans, a surprising population has been caught in the crosshairs: Hundreds of thousands of older Americans whose decades-old debts now put them at risk of having their Social Security checks garnished.
Isn’t the whole point of social security to prevent older people from starving to death or living in a box?
If those social security wages can be garnished that kind of defeats the purpose of it being a safety net.

The entire media apparatus that serves them lies to them, and they’ve been trained by that same apparatus to not believe anyone else.
Fox News be like, “Deadbeat Grandma shocked she has to repay borrowed money.”
I feel there has to be some kind of bias in these polls either on purpose or by who the fuck knows …
I don’t know how they do the polls but come on… Like I refuse to believe it also
That’s fucking evil as shit.
Older people and disabled people.
While I feel bad for those that didn’t vote for this shit, its gonna be interesting to see the news reports of ignorant elder republicans having the pleasure of getting fucked by the dildo they voted for.
This is tragic and I hate the system is doing this to our most vulnerable elderly. Knowing I can’t change the system directly, I wonder if there is a solution inside the existing system.
- Many colleges and universities offer free tuition for senior citizens
- Many student loans can be put into deferment for current students, so no payments would need to be made during that status.
Could the elderly in the article with outstanding decades old student loans enroll in school to get deferment until the day they die (or at least until the year they transfer to a nursing home provided by the state where they have to sign over all of their social security anyway)?
