What you’re about to see in the video below is likely going to leave you with a wide range of emotions because of how absurd it is on so many levels. Believe it or not, the US Marshals Service in Houston is arresting people for not paying their outstanding federal student loans.
The man in the video below is Paul Aker. Paul says last Thursday, he was in his home minding his own business, when SEVEN Deputy U.S. Marshals in full combat gear showed up at his door with automatic weapons, and when they were done scaring the daylights out of him, they put him in shackles and hauled him off to jail for missing payments on a $1500 federal student loan he received in 1987. Mr. Aker says he was never read his rights, wasn’t given an attorney, and the seven US Marshals took him straight to federal court where he had to sign a payment plan for the 29-year-old school loan.
Mr. Aker appears in the interview below with his local Congressman, Gene Green, a Democrat representing the 29th District of Texas. Congressman Green says the federal government is now using private debt collectors to go after those who owe student loans. Green also says as a result, those attorneys and debt collectors are getting judgments in federal court and asking judges to use the US Marshals Service to arrest those who have failed to pay their federal student loans.
Fox says their ”reliable” source with the US Marshal in Houston says Mr. Aker isn’t the first and won’t be the last. They have to serve anywhere from 1200 to 1500 warrants to people who have failed to pay their federal student loans.

Most people are probably fitting into one of a few categories after seeing that video. Either 1) You were completely blown away by the fact the federal government is so big and bloated, it can afford to waste assigning SEVEN US Marshals to bring in a man for a 29 year old school loan of only $1,500; 2) You believe that there should be “school loan forgiveness,” and on that basis you were appalled at what Mr. Aker had to go through; OR 3) You acknowledge that the actions on the part of the federal government were GROSSLY disproportionate to Mr. Aker’s infraction, but you’re one of those people who still believes in honoring commitments that are made, so you feel no sympathy for the fact Mr. Aker has to begin paying on what is certainly a MUCH bigger balance with 29 years of interest.
First, let’s make something very clear here: The main reason that story aired, was so Mr. Aker could be used as a prop and you could be manipulated by Congressman Green and the liberal media (yes, even Fox). Everyone knows school loans and “school loan forgiveness” are real hot topics with younger voters now, and leave it to a liberal Congressman like Gene Green to be pandering to the “entitlement crowd.” Way to go Congressman, promise free stuff that the country cannot afford in exchange for votes from the youth. Why? Because YOUR re-election is more important than the country, or other overall well-being of the youth in general, who will never learn to spend within their means if they know liberal politicians like you will always be there to bail them out in exchange for a vote.
Just so you know, Congressman Gene Green is a co-sponsor of the 10/10 Student Loan Forgiveness Program as part of the Student Loan Fairness Act, and this story was just a means for him to continue to push for that legislation. At the end of the day, there is nothing that excuses the behavior of the federal government by sending seven US Marshals like that, but you can be sure it wasn’t done is done on accident.
You can count on Obama continuing to send US Marshals in full combat gear, and probably even have someone at the Marshals responsible for calling the media ahead of time so someone is there to get scared kids being cuffed on film. A few stories like that on the evening news, and whola, a student loan forgiveness bill gets passed.
Having gone to law school, I have a huge school loan bill, but call me old fashioned; I don’t believe in student loan forgiveness simply because I have a big bill. When I needed money to go to law school, I agreed to the terms and conditions, and that’s that. When is the “entitlement generation” going to learn that there’s no such thing as a free lunch? All that “free stuff” they think they’re getting, is actually the most expensive “free stuff” they’ll ever have. I’m going to go out on a limb and say 90% of this country’s problems could all be fixed with two simple words:
PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY!
With an economic tsunami looming just over the horizon that’s likely to send the U.S. back to the stone age, everyone in government ought to be trying to figure out ways to spend less, but we never learn!

You do business with mobsters, you take your chances. Be happy they aren’t breaking your legs. Yet……
Why won’t you put this on YOU TUBE? And don’t telll me they take it down as there is no legal reason!
Welcome to HELL students…No jobs, no boarders, no country. This is YOUR future…Feel the burn.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/02/us-marshals-forcibly-collecting-student-debt.html
No arrests for 911, or Iraq WMDs killing millions. Not ONE bankster official in jail. No reprimand after Katrina… Yet these neandrothal thugs can bust in the doors of college delinquent?
People WTFU and MOVE, ACT
when precisely did it become a crime to be delinquent on a bill??
You left out the Part, that, the reason the swat team was used also, which they said, is because Mr Aker is a REGISTERED GUN OWNER, so the marshal’s, violated the Federal Fire Arms Owner Protection act, There is to be NO list or registry of Gun Owners, Period.
If gun owners dont use their guns in these scenarios to defend themselves? Why do they own them?
Actually, this is VERY OLD news. Since the U.S. ‘privatized’ school loans around 1990, and then ran their famous legislature through that made it IMPOSSIBLE to seek debt relief in federal courts (aka: you can’t bankrupt on school loans, like you can a car loan or a house loan), then the government INSURED that the school loans would be your slave-chains for the rest of your repayment schedule, at least. Everything in this article is true, except they failed to mention that an amortized loan of $1500 in 1987, left unpaid from then until now, has amassed a repayment balance of around $35,000 currently.
For anyone who screams ‘it is your rightful debt and you MUST pay it’, I ask them to get out their bibles (they’re always conservative bible-belt nuts), read the part about ‘no debt should extend past 7-years, for in the 7th year, it’s balance is to be forgiven, hence the term ‘Jubilee’. It is a way to ensure that debt-slavery didn’t extend past 7-years, and is why that home mortgages in the U.S. did not extend past that length of time until the mid-1950′s. Those 15, 20, 30 year notes aren’t helpful to you, they are enslavement.
Lack of debt forgiveness is satanic at its very core. So, the next time you run to church, ask the preacher what happened to Jubilee debt-forgiveness in America. When he says that ‘we don’t follow that law’, just look at him and say, ‘nope, most Satanists don’t follow much about the Bible either, they just heckle it or ignore it’.
