If it’s good enough for the local water company it’s good enough for the Taxpayer!

If utility companies can garnish individual tax refund checks as recently ruled. Certainly the Treasury/IRS can do the same.

Student loan defaults are approaching the trillion-dollar mark.

Over 70% of tax filers receive a refund check if I remember right amounts to an average in the $1200 area.

These hundreds and hundreds of billions is not money that requires an extra tax or fee. This is money already owed. Instead of being so focused on artificially keeping student interest rates low let’s start getting some of that money, signed for long ago, back. After all similar to a parent we (we being taxpayers) paid for or at least supplemented the education they received and are now reaping the rewards. Only parents do it out of love.

The President keeps regurgitating times are tough and we all need to make sacrifices. How about asking those who owe to pay up before asking those who paid for them in the first place to pay for them again. We Go Round In Circles was a great song. It’s nauseating as it gets when it’s the basis for stimulating the economy. Gives you almost a Ponzi feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Logic and math have no place here. This is the politics thread!
