    Roughly 2.9 million people who have student loans are age 62 or older. I’m very curious as to how many in that demographic are within this defaulted status. Mostly because any change in social security benefits for a retiree is life altering and if any significant portion of that group that’s defaulted is also this 62 or older group, the changes this will have a massive impact on the population. Retirees that get caught into money troubles not only brings them down, but usually the family that ultimately has to catch them from completely falling through the cracks.

      If this affects retirees i hope they choose to protest with open carry in front of government buildings rather than letting themselves get homeless and starved to death.

          What are they gonna do? Shoot at the armed people who have nothing to loose as they are destined to loose everything anyways?

            Yes. That is exactly what they will do.

            Cops are not military. They are poorly trained panic strike thugs and children.
