Agree with what has been said above. Bottom line is that the government is taking 15% of his SSI benefit. That's $131 of his $874 per month. He sued because he says he needs it all. Think of it this way: He signed up for a student loan at an already below market interest rate at the age of 40. Got his college degree (presuming he finished the degree) at the age of 44-45. He has had 22 years to pay of this debt and has not. The government stands to recoup less than HALF of the money he owes, if he lives to age 90. More likely scenario is he lives another 5 years or so (given his health problems) and ends up paying $8000 of the $77000 he owes.
And you think this isn't fair???
Seems like we are back to the argument on your other thread Steve. Somehow you think that people who make poor choices in life should be bailed out by the rest of us when those choices have consequences...
