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

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.

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.
