Idk how an individual providing a service they otherwise might not do in exchange for a lower loan balance is socialism.
But they aren't really doing it for less. One even admitted it ITT. Also, you leave out the part they are only doing so for 10 years then they will jump to the private sector if there are better-paying jobs. What is the benefit to the public to have those jobs filled for a short time and have to keep funding the next group up to fill the vacancies? It's a never-ending cycle.

The government gives a ton of free shite to our servicemen. Is that socialism too?
This is a really bad example. Way worse than your argument about utilities.

10 years is too short? What would a more acceptable time period be?

You might say that if you were retarded. There’s a frickton of government paid for perks associated with being in the military or even being related to someone in the military.

Public sector jobs are hurting for people. Pay and benefits aren't keeping up, so they lose a lot of people to private sector, and they are top heavy with soon-to-be retirees. The writing has been on the wall for a while, so they are throwing something out there to attract more people. 10 years is better than 0. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I could live with it better if there were a ceiling on the non-taxable limit, and then everything forgiven above that needs to be considered income.

Military has the same issue; can't get enough people. They offer student loan payoffs to get people to sign up, and it doesn't need to be a 10-year enlistment.
