Dept of Education uses SWAT to collect student loan
 STOCKTON, CA - Kenneth Wright does not have a criminal record and he had no reason to believe a S.W.A.T team would be breaking down his door at 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

"I look out of my window and I see 15 police officers," Wright said.

Wright came downstairs in his boxer shorts as a S.W.A.T team barged through his front door. Wright said an officer grabbed him by the neck and led him outside on his front lawn.

"He had his knee on my back and I had no idea why they were there," Wright said.

1. It's time for our U.S. Department of Education to unleash their own special forces
 on the poor and unemployed students

9. Call it what it is - terrorism
 The average person in the U.S. has FAR more reason to fear arbitrary action by our own government than an attack by foreigners.


Call it what it is: exactly what you leftist assholes demanded.

The government took over student loans by brute force diktat. The law was stuffed into the ObamaCare bill--which no one read--and passed under the rules of reconciliation.

And you **** nuggets cheered when it happened.

If the student loan programs were private no bank could use a SWAT team. Sure they might get liens or garnishments but they'd have to go through courts with representative council etc.

You wanted Obama and the government to have the power, now they have it.

Just wait until the IRS gets involved in enforcing buying insurance.  There was a reason for hiring more IRS agents and buying more guns.

We can't blame this only on the Democrats.  The Patriot act, which gave them the powers they are now abusing, was put in by a Republican dominated house and Senate under W.

Power is seductive, you have to watch politicians, of any variety, all the time because they'll take more whenever you give them a chance.

What, exactly, does the Patriot Act have to do with the Dept. of Ed. using SWAT teams? I'm missing the connection.

1. There are legitimate national security issues the PA addresses

2. Student loans have nothing to do with national security

3. If the term "national security" can be abused stage this sort of non-sense so can the term "civil order" but anarchy is just as evil

4. abusus non tollit usum

5. Claiming the PA is the guiding authority for this action seems fabricated out of ideological wholecloth at this point.

6. Actually, yes we can blame the dems exclusively as the end of my OP notes.

I heard on the news that the government today in court said that it is actually a TAX (forcing everyone to buy health insurance). What happens when you refuse to pay your taxes?  Ask Wesley Snipes.

Ask Timmy Geithner, Charlie Rangel and a host of other politicians.  All men are equal under the law, right?

I think this may explain it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Duncan

Quote
Arne Duncan (born November 6, 1964) is an American education administrator and currently United States Secretary of Education. Duncan previously served as CEO of the Chicago Public Schools.

Now look at his goofy-ass grin:

You'll be able to see the connection if you shove your head up your ass like the other guy.

Progressivism = fascism.  Plain and simple.

I have a feeling there are a few details missing from this story, possibly including a kilo of cocaine.

It sounds like the kind of injustice that Bernie Ellis the Tennessee pothead suffers in his little valley of terminally ill neighbors.

Agreed - I suspect as this story unfolds, a few details will emerge making it not about a defaulted loan but about something far more egregious.

Nothing to do with student loans.
