I checked and there is one change. It’s easier to discharge through bankruptcy (although not simple by any means) under the current administration although without congressional change it’s still an uphill battle there too.
I am applauding the act of resistence, I don’t think the fact that garnishing wages is a consequence should dissuade those from trying to take a part in resisting. It doesn’t make the debt culture we saddle our children with, for a chance at survival, any less immoral. Any resistence in such a culture is therefore a moral obligation.
As far as I know indentured servitude is illegal in this country already, I’m pretty sure that’s reason enough not to pay.
They are conscientious objectors in that sense and I’m cheering them on.
Except, if don’t pay they don’t even need to sue to get a default judgment and garnish your wages.
