Trump admin will seize wages, pensions, tax refunds to repay student loans: 'Debt cannot be wiped away'

[Maximum Overkill 1,738]

Those who default or refuse to pay their federal student loans could have their wages, federal pensions and tax refunds garnished, the White House said Tuesday. 

The beautiful perfect Angel, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters in her weekly briefing that the Trump administration will go after those who don't repay the loans instead of placing the burden on taxpayers. 

"The government can and will collect defaulted federal student loan debt by withholding money from borrowers, tax refunds, federal pensions and even their wages," she said.

Winning.

First off I going to guess that, given the amount of people DOGE laid off that performed these functions for us in the past, these collections are going to be quite difficult and take a long time to accomplish. 
 

Second, people should ask themselves whether or not this sort of draconian collections, if actually carried out, will help or hurt our economy. I have a pretty strong feeling that it will be very very bad, given the fact that these same young people are the ones we are relying on to purchase new homes as well as other investments.

Student debt should never be forgiven. What kind of message does that send to Kids who couldn't afford College. 

Except you don't care about those people.

If they wqant to purchase their homes with the same intention as they purchased their educations they will simply be acquiring yet another thing of value under false pretenses.  Better to teach them to honor their comitments.  In the long run honored commitments are good for the economy, not bail outs.

Yeah, I might get into this if it wasn't for the fact Trump wants to give more tax breaks to billionaires...

This is a generalized statement that sounds good on paper but I’m not at all sure it’s true in real life.

The tariffs have hurt me. The other stuff is hurting incident people all the time. But it’s not accomplishing any of the things you think it is.

Yet I am certain that those who sign leases with you agreeing to pay future amounts actually have to pay those amounts or suffer adverse consequences.  I bet you do not forgive the amounts as it may be good for the economy.  The very basis for you entering into agreements are the expectation that agreements will be honored.  Once that is gone so too is the basis of our current economy.

You have not been right about anything. Ever. 

That is why you are so hurt. It's self imposed. 

Wake up dude. The sooner you take accountability for your own thinking and actions, the sooner you will wake up and see the truth. You may want to get a good therapist first though, because if you ever choose to actually see yourself for who you are, you may need a totally different type of emotional support than you do as a butt-hurt liberal. They may need to put you in a rubber room for a while.

I wonder how much Tim got in Covid payments.  

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,236]

Tim.....IRS garnishing wages to fund gender garbage 

Tim.....garnishing wages to pay your own debt

Just shut up and pay off your loans.  Such a dumb argument.

I forgive leases all the time. During Covid I lost an entire year of rent. Some other landlords I know refused to renegotiate terms and the result of that is that now they have vacancies and I do not. These things depend on circumstances, there are no set rules except try to look at the big picture.

This is the problem: you’re looking at it emotionally. So do most people. 

I strongly believe that forgiving almost all student loans would be the best possible investment we could make into our economy: far far more productive than the tax cuts Trump is trying to push through. It would stimulate the housing industry which is the key to everything else. But this is an argument based on reason and business- it’s got nothing to do with fairness and what people deserve. I can’t argue with those emotional topics. 

[Hawkeye21 2,379]

No.  He's just a customer who's done business for a while and he made a poor business decision by ordering way too much product that he couldn't sell.  We tried to work with him on making payments but he sucked at that.  Then he got upset with us pursuing him so he decided to stop paying us at all.

If they can't pay off a student loan I doubt they can get a loan for a house.

You don't even like him. There's your answer right there. Look at it this way: It costs you 300 large to get rid of him. He's out of your life for 300 large. You got off cheap. Forget him.

I never knew the guy until I had to step in during a verbal argument he was having with my GM.  I was the one that decided to give him a chance to pay us back $20k at a time and allowing him to still take product from us.  He screwed me over though.  He has now been sued and owes us that money, plus finance fees.

I could get on board with getting rid of the interest but that's about it.
