Just got an e-mail from AFL-CIO


to sign a petition to stop the garnishment of Social Security checks to pay for their student debt. I'm pretty sure that $750 and under is untouchable but SS should be totally untouchable.

The e-mail from the Secretary-Treasurer says that Obama and Duncan can stop this with a moratorium and/or administrative actions, no legislation needed.

Called their office and am hoping to get specifics back but if anyone is aware of this, please share.

Also called Bernie's campaign office to see if he would push this for our seniors.

How come you didn't post the email to show it off?  :whatever:

Libs wait till they're eligible for social security before they start thinking about how they are going to pay of the student debt ?
That would represent a total absence of forethought.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Social Security?  Student loans?  Are there that many old deadbeats out there that this is a problem?

Wait... doesn't the federal government run the student loan program now?  Live by the government, die by the government dummie. 

Embrace the suck.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Amazing.  The barely functional infants who demand all this free shit, cannot even gain employment, with said LIbEal artS edgeamakayshun, to hold down a job to remit the debt they knowingly incur.

Well, it's not like they ever really intended to, as THEY determine what is best for the greatest country on the face of the earf.
