WASHINGTON, DC – JUNE 20: An installation of 857 empty school desks, representing the number of students nationwide who are dropping out every hour of every school day, is on display at the National Mall June 20, 2012 in Washington, DC. The installation was presented by not-for-profit organization College Board to call upon presidential candidates who are running for the White House to make education a more prominent issue in the 2012 campaigns and put the nation’s schools back on track.

Thank goodness Shannon Behnken WFLA reporter is trying to help Mamie Walker straighten out this mess. 

The Government stopped sending her SS checks in February because they say she owes over $200,000 in student loans. Mamie never attended college and she depends on that SS check. The local Social Security office says they can't help her because it needs to be fixed by the Department Of Education.

Mamie says she is scared because they are going to turn her lights off.
