US Government: Too Broke for Student Debt, Rich for Bombs
Millions of Americans defaulting on student loans are now facing wage garnishment, as the Trump administration 'warns' that January brings the hammer down. That's a 'warning' from the same political establishment that finds literally trillions for endless wars and corporate bailouts with nary a whimper from their media cheerleaders. Imagine if the Pentagon had to worry about defaulting on its F-35
payments like a recent grad struggles with Sallie Mae. This isn't about 'fiscal responsibility'; it's about priorities. While your wages get plucked to repay predatory loan schemes, Congress routinely rubber-stamps over $800 billion for military spending annually. Where's the 'default' warning for Raytheon executives failing to deliver on time or under budget? One might wonder why crippling the
working class into debt peonage is a faster administrative process than addressing systemic corporate welfare. The American dream, apparently, is just a student loan agreement with an attached wage garnishment order.
