Student Loan Debt Crisis: Trump Administration's Controversial Collection Plan Sparks Outrage

Millions of Americans face renewed student loan debt collection under the Trump administration. The Department of Education is resuming wage garnishment for those who have defaulted on their loans. This move has sparked outrage among student loan borrowers and advocacy groups like the Debt Collective. Co-founder Astra Taylor argues that this policy disproportionately harms low-income individuals and serves primarily to free up funds for tax cuts for the wealthy. "This really is about justifying tax cuts," Taylor asserts. The administration counters that it's about protecting taxpayers.
