Never get between a government and it's money.....
The Supreme Court ruled today that the government can seize a person's Social Security benefits and use them to pay old student loans. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote the decision that went against a disabled man named James Lockhart. The government took 15% of James' benefits to pay his outstanding student loans depite his claim that he needed all of the money to survive. The Bush administration is pleased with the decision becasue outstanding student loans total about $33 billion dollars.
