Department of education says more than 5 million already defaulted, an additional 4 million in “late-stage delinquency”.
“Borrowers will now be expected to repay their loans, and those who don’t will face involuntary collections,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. “The government can and will collect federal student loan debt by withholding money from borrowers, tax refunds, federal pensions and even their wages.
Wow. They could just print money to bail all of these banks out, but instead they’re going to create revolutionary conditions
As is typical with capitalists, their greed comes first. They have securitized and derivated student debt much like mortgage debt in the 2000s. I’m sure there’s a way to roll all that back (besides a 2008 type crash) but not without massive costs and losses.
It’s not even about greed. If the lenders actually wanted money they’d just lobby the government to pay off the loans. Boom, student debt solved and the lenders get rich. There’s literally no downside.
But that’s not good enough!
It’s about prole control and revenge. They’re discipling the uppity poors that dared reach above their station for an education.
Henry Kissinger has only been dead for like a year and apparently there’s not a single fucking guy speaking sense to these idiots. They have no idea why the systems are there and they refuse to learn, as even Marxist economists are going “holy shit buddy are you sure you wanna do that?”
I think we’re under appreciating how cucked the average American is.
