61% : Today, the government restarts collections on defaulted loans -- first by docking tax refunds, then by garnishing paychecks and Social Security benefits.
58% : What happened to loan forgiveness? Soaring tuition prices and government cutbacks for state schools quadrupled federal student loan debt in the 21st century.
55% : For five years, more than 40 million Americans have not faced dire consequences if they failed to pay back their federal student loan debt.
53% : What should student loan borrowers do to make sure their information isn't lost or incorrect?" Moving all those records, including contracts with the companies that collect payments, would be complicated, and it can't happen without Congress.
53% : More on the Trump Administration Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have spent the past two weeks traveling the world and announcing business deals, many of which will financially benefit their father.
49% : As the coronavirus pandemic convulsed the economy, President Trump and Congress brought relief: They allowed borrowers to take a break from their payments.
44% : Another point of confusion is Trump's ambition to close the Education Department -- the agency that owns and manages federal student debt -- and move the loans to another agency.
37% : In oil producing nations, sliding prices could mean economic trouble and political unrest.
17% : Trending online yesterday: Trump wants Alcatraz to be a prison again.
