First, Secretary of "Education" Betsy DeVos (whose family money, you will remember, comes from the Amway pyramid scheme). It seems the DoE wasn't really enthusiastic about cancelling student load debt incurred through scam "educational institutions":
Note that DeVos is a big believer in for-profit colleges -- especially the "Christian" variety.
And second, none other than Trump's Department of Agriculture, implementing another step in the "Christian" dream: starve the poor:
In an economy in which jobs are vanishing. I guess they can always take the jobs that undocumented immigrants won't touch.
It's not totally draconian:
It's still 750,000 people without adequate food.

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and her Department of Education (DOE) violated a court order which prohibited the agency from collecting student loan payments from defrauded borrowers–and then she drastically under-counted the number of former students who were impacted by that initial illegal decision.
In a 14-page compliance report filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday, attorneys for the DOE confessed to unlawfully collecting such payments from nearly 46,000 students (45,801 to be exact) who were scammed by for-profit colleges.
Those students attended various campuses owned by the Corinthian Colleges chain and were enrolled in educational programs which DeVos has personally described as “worthless.”

And second, none other than Trump's Department of Agriculture, implementing another step in the "Christian" dream: starve the poor:
The Trump administration announced a plan Wednesday to end food-stamp benefits for about 700,000 Americans, issuing a new regulation that makes it harder for states to gain waivers from a requirement that beneficiaries work or participate in a vocational training program.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the new rule will move more food-stamp recipients “toward self-sufficiency and into employment.”
In an economy in which jobs are vanishing. I guess they can always take the jobs that undocumented immigrants won't touch.
It's not totally draconian:
The work requirement covers “able-bodied” recipients. A U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman said it doesn’t apply to recipients who are over 50, disabled or pregnant, or anyone with a child under 18.
It's still 750,000 people without adequate food.
