Roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans, according to the AP.  The Education Department is sending them to collection and garnishment.  Tens of thousands of the defaulted borrowers have no way to pay their loans back.  This has set up a PR disaster for the Trump Administration because for every loan garnished is a vote lost in the midterm elections.  One wonders why after all this time the government is so heavy handed.  It's a curious move for an administration that is already unpopular.
