People who have taken advantage of specialized incentives/benefits are hypocritically bashing people who take advantage of other specialized incentives/benefits. That’s what we’re discussing.
I think it's a BS system. It will be never-ending as every 10 years people will jump to a higher paying job. It literally fixes nothing long-term.
You are correct that they didn't create it the law just the same as they didn't create the mortgage deduction. I understand that point which is why I even brought up the flat tax.
Have you ever bashed anyone in section 8 houses or on welfare? How about people taking advantage of "Obama phones"?
I don't see much of a difference in knowingly taking a small pay cut, if any, for 10 years to get $100K in free education vs those who knowingly don't marry their baby daddy and use different addresses so they can get more food stamps. Both are a conscious choice to take advantage of a handout.

You didn't answer my question a few pages back. Does this mean you're for abolishing the GI bill too?

I put those situations in wildly different categories. The pay cut is irrelevant to PSLF. Its purpose, wise or unwise, is to attract talented people to public service who would have otherwise gone into the private sector.
The purpose of welfare is to help people in need. Someone not getting married to increase their benefits is shitty, but really more of an indictment of the law than anything else.
Someone listing multiple addresses is committing fraud.
Each of those three are quite different, in my opinion.

Yes, but one of these groups is more likely to contribute to society than the other
