The Trump administration is facing backlash as it prepares to begin garnishing the wages of more than 5 million Americans in default on their student loans, despite President Trump previously forgiving nearly $800 billion in PPP loans for small business owners.
Starting May 5, the Department of Education will begin involuntarily collecting student loan payments through the Treasury Department's offset program. U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon claimed the move will liberate American taxpayers from having to "serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies," per AP News.
