The biggest student loan crisis is about to happen. The Trump administration is planning to take significant financial actions against student loan borrowers who have defaulted, including the garnishment of wages and the potential repossession of assets or income. This will begin in January 2026. This shift in policy marks a major turning point that could create a massive problem for the national economy. To be clear, I am not blaming the administration for taking these actions; student loans are a contract, and those who take on this debt have a responsibility to fulfill their obligations, just like a mortgage or an auto loan.
However, we must distinguish between delinquency, where people are simply struggling to keep up; and default, which is a total failure to pay. The statistics show a concerning trend. It is actually the older demographic, those aged 40 to 70, who have the highest rates of default. Meanwhile, younger borrowers between 18 and 40 are experiencing high levels of delinquency. Currently, over 5 million borrowers are in default, and the Department of Education warned earlier this year that this number could soon climb to 10 million. Interestingly, those in the 30-50 age range carry the highest total debt load. Many of these individuals are homeowners with families and vehicles, meaning they have high liabilities. Once the government begins aggressive collections, the ripple effect will hit the real estate market and local businesses as consumer spending rapidly slows down.
It is time for Americans to consider a different path. College is not the only way to succeed; in today’s world, focusing on building high-value skills, personal branding, and networking is vital. This crisis is amplified by a cooling labor market, with the unemployment rate recently ticking up to 4.6%—a level we haven't seen since the pandemic. While inflation has cooled, many companies are still recording record profits. This is because businesses are increasingly relying on AI and automation rather than human employees, making this economic cycle very different from those in the past.
While macro indicators like GDP growth might look healthy, they don't always tell the full story of what is about to happen on the ground. I believe the Federal Reserve needs to cut interest rates toward a target of 3% to balance their dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices. With unemployment rising and inflation falling, aggressive (but measured) cuts are necessary to keep the economy from stalling. As the upside in the equity markets begins to diminish, we are already seeing gold and silver continue to move higher as investors look for safety.
