The Education Department announced on Friday that it will delay the implementation of wage garnishment and other involuntary collection efforts affecting defaulted student loan borrowers.
The department said the delay affects involuntary collections on federal student loans through wage garnishments and the Treasury Offset Program, which is used to seize some or all of borrowers’ payments from the government, including tax refunds and Social Security benefits.
“The temporary delay will enable the Department to implement major student loan repayment reforms under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act…to give borrowers more options to repay their loans,” the department said in the announcement.
Someone realized crashing the economy would be a bad idea?
More likely they fired the people who know how to initiate the wage garnishment
Trump is shitting the bed on affordability

Midterms are coming up and if he bankrupts all the voters they will spite vote against everything MAGA and undo the changes.
You underestimate how rabidly some people are committed to that movement’s heinous dogma
I have personally witnessed the MAGA turn to progressive of a marine friend of mine after school loan forgiveness. The issue personally touches so many conservatives that it will actually change voting behavior.
Conservatives only care when the issue affects them personally and suddenly losing money to garnished wages will rupture the right wing loan saddled voting base.
Yeah hating on the poor and dispossessed is not unpopular in their party. Fox popularized it decades back. Hurting the poor is something they actively take pleasure in, openly.
The question is if it wins then more support than they lose.
Hah like that would ever happen.
Erasing student loans with bankruptcy. What will they think of next.
Looks like TACO syndrome is spreading.
