Trump needs the money to collect enough revenue for his tax breaks for the wealthy. The average middle class American is already taxed to the max, a huge number don't make enough money to even pay taxes and none of us will accept cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security

That falls on the irs genius , if they cheated, then why didn't you complain during Biden And if they cheated and aren't being busted, then I'm 100% on your side, but the potus handled student loan suspension, so he has to undo it When should he, in your opinion

I assume most people who read my comment are smart enough to know who collects what. There’s more money to be found in tax fraud than defaulting on student loans and it’s a crime. So you didn’t have to, but you did, try to be a smart ass for attention.

A lot of students and young people with student debt voted for Trump or did not vote. Enjoy. Among black voters, the youngest voters were the ones who voted most for Trump. Only 6% of black seniors voted for Trump, vs 15% of the youngest voters.

Yet Trump/Republicans refuse to collect the nearly $1 Trillion in unpaid Federal Taxes mostly by the rich. Instead, Republicans have fired tens of thousands of investigative IRS agents. Unable to collect from the rich. Of course, the working class suffer as more benefits are cut & a tariff tax!
