Seniors could lose part of their Social Security check over student loans they took out decades ago. Bernie Sanders wants to stop that. His new bill, the Stop Social Security Garnishment Act, would protect seniors and people with disabilities from having their benefits seized to repay old federal student debt. More than 9.5 million borrowers are currently in default, and nearly 1 in 4 can't keep up with payments. Sanders didn't hold back, calling it unacceptable for seniors to lose retirement income while already struggling with healthcare and housing costs.
