I consider serving in the military a whole lot more vital than encouraging more people to work in Government and create more bureaucratic red tape and BS so they can keep their jobs so no.

I don’t have strong feelings about PSLF being good or bad policy, but I do want to clarify something, being I keep seeing references to “government” or “bureaucratic” jobs, and the scope is actually considerably larger than that: LINK

As just one example, without PSLF, attracting talented young prosecutors to full time DA’s offices would become significantly more difficult without increasing salaries by probably around 50%. But outside of government entirely, any 501c3 that isn’t excluded because it’s a political or union org, etc, is also eligible. Then non 501c3 that meet the listed areas in that link are, also.

It would surprise me to find out that even a quarter of PSLF recipients spent the majority of their “service” at a government entity.
