Bernie Sanders pushes to end Social Security garnishments for student debt: What to know
"The Department of Education's Federal Student Aid office reports that 3.2 million student loan borrowers are 62 or older and hold nearly $144 billion in outstanding student loan debt."
If that doesn't speak volums to how utterly fucked our entire system is, I don't know what would. 🤬

AP’s coverage∶
The #NationalDebt surpassed a record $40 trillion Wednesday, a staggering milestone as #defense costs, #social programs like #SocialSecurity & #Medicare & interest on the burgeoning #deficit to make up an enormous share of federal spending.
The milestone figure was recorded just 5 months after the US hit a record $39 trillion debt in March. It reached $38 trillion 5 months before that, in October [all under #Trump’s watch].

@2legged It is absolutely no surprise to me at all that #Labour, under both Starmer & #Burnham, has no plans for #redistribution of #income & #wealth, #reduction in income & wealth #inequality or increased #taxation of the #rich, whereas they DO have plans, some of which they've already implemented, for #cuts in #social #spending & #socialsecurity #benefits, especially for the #disabled.

Older #StudentLoan borrowers are at risk of losing a chunk of their #SocialSecurity. There's a new bill to prevent that.
Story by Ayelet Sheffey, August 17, 2026
"Student-loan borrowers could lose their Social Security checks if they fall behind on their loan payments. Democratic lawmakers want to put an end to that practice.
"On Monday, Sens. #BernieSanders, #ElizabethWarren, and #EdMarkey introduced a bill to prevent older student-loan borrowers and borrowers with disabilities from facing Social Security garnishment if they default on their payments.
"A fact sheet of the legislation reviewed by Business Insider said that the bill would prohibit the Treasury from seizing Social Security payments, including Social Security Disability Insurance, and protect those borrowers from 'unnecessary forced collections.'
"Sanders said in a statement that 'in the richest country in the history of the world, no senior should have their Social Security payments taken away from them to pay back student debt.'
" 'This is especially true when seniors throughout the country already cannot afford the skyrocketing price of healthcare, prescription drugs, groceries and housing,' Sanders said. "Congress must pass this legislation.'
"The legislation comes as student-loan defaults are at a record high. Over 9 million borrowers were in default as of March, according to the latest Education Department data, which happens when a borrower has missed payments for 270 days.
"The New York Federal Reserve's latest household debt report showed that student-loan delinquencies stood at 10.6% in the second quarter of 2026 — up from 10.3% in the first quarter. Pre-pandemic delinquency rates were around 11%, and researchers said the latest data showed that delinquency is stabilizing. Yet researchers said that number could rise again due to the elimination of the Biden-era SAVE repayment plan, which gave borrowers affordable payments and a shorter timeline to debt relief."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi: "Social Security represents a promise to the American people: if you work hard and pay into the system, you should be able to retire with dignity. But Donald Trump and House Republicans are working to dismantle it—closing offices, firing staff and slashing services. These cruel actions will force more seniors to wait longer, travel farther and risk losing the benefits they rely on. We will not allow that to happen. Democrats will always fight to strengthen #SocialSecurity."

Jesse Lee wrote about saving #SocialSecurity: "There is no reason to be entertaining benefit cuts, or outsourcing Social Security to commissions that may split the baby, when the public is like 99 to 1 against benefit cuts. Just lift the cap, and capture income sources outside of wages." #politics
