GOP wants to grab student loan payments right out of your paycheck

You are absolutely right, there are neoliberals on both sides. Joe Biden authored the legislation that made it impossible to discharge a student loan in bankruptcy - think about that when he becomes the anointed Democratic candidate in 2020.

My loans went into default when I became disabled in college. Social Security is garnishing my SSDI down to the minimum of $750 per month to repay my student debt. Even though $100 goes to pay it monthly, the annual reduction in my principal is $150. I will be paying for the next 161 years for an education I cannot use.

The feds have many ways of getting money out of your paycheck, or tax return, or pension, with or without your employer’s cooperation.

Neocons are warhawks. Neoliberals are robber barons. Both exist in both parties, and the Venn diagram overlaps significantly, but one is an economic fantasy and the other a mirage of foreign policy.
