With no DOE employees to process defaults?

Nobody should be paying a red cent.

If your choice is draining your entire bank account to the point you can't afford to live or suffering a credit score penalty, then the credit score should be sacrificed.

Stop. Nothing they can do is worse than starving. Don't pay them. Use your money for your own needs.

I wish Trump didn't understand that.

Fair point but if a dumbfuck like Trump understands it then it's much sadder that others don't.
