Gannett. Link only per FR posting rules. Link here.
As a start, we the People need to start identifying who is participating in these questionable raids, and then publicizing their names in an active shunning campaign.
Sounds crazy, but it just might work to help curtail some of this nonsense. And it is a better step than many other actions that might come down the road.
They are looking to create a system of establishments in which such scofflaws will be held. There they will learn hard, industrious work habits, loyalty to the state, obedience and will learn that the student loans must be there highest financial priorities when they are released from the system (if ever). Activities to help them learn these lessons will include work on roads, forestry work, mining work and manufacturing of goods for sale to the government agencies. They can also shed a few pounds on 700 calories per day. Obama has it all planned out!
At some POINT we HAVE to demand that our pols start unraveling the agencies. Defund them NOW, kick their parasites out to get REAL jobs and no longer allow the executive branch to continue this incremental creep towards totalitarianism.
Get RID of the AGENCIES!
Don’t be scared. A clean headshot will take out a SWAT team member, just like it would anyone else.
So.... on the bright side, they didn’t shoot him 60 times...
Ha! Struck me as funny after watching The Jerk on cable last night. (I’m sorry about your wife. That’s all right, Sir, Federal Regulations, you know...)
Because no matter how innocuous the agency's charter, they need lethal firepower in a small tactical team with night vision and a Bradley fighting vehicle.
Are we a police state yet?
so you’re saying that Obama wants the next Waco to be triggerd by the Dept. of Education or the Census Bureau?
A SWAT team to collect student loans????
These Walter Mitty types have progressed from being silly to being the downright dangerous lunatics from a really bad sci-fi flick.
This is the only news outlet that is reporting this — I searched on Google News and no other article turned up.
I bet the Obama admin don’t want to publicize this.
If they can break into your home for a delinquent student loan, where does it stop?!

This is not a tolerable action, nor authority for *them* to have. We must stop them and disband them.
Fairy Tale!
or his or the neighbor’s dog.
I agree. It’s no longer “strings attached”; it’s chains of servitude around one’s neck to get that deep into debt against Fedzilla.
For SWATs it’s training.
For you claim: "This guy married his ex-wife debts and all."
That's not information in the news report.
Someone's lying.
They are saving that for the next time.
