"With regard to incorporating a description of the public service loan forgiveness benefit in the MPN, the Department is already taking steps to refer to the program in the MPN and other program documents. However, the MPN will continue to state, as it currently does, that the terms and conditions of the loans are subject to the HEA as it is amended in accordance with the effective date of those amendments. Although there is no history in the program of Congress eliminating or reducing a borrower benefit, the Department does not believe that a reference to the public service loan forgiveness program in the MPN would provide the borrower with a contractual right to the benefit should Congress take action to eliminate that benefit from the HEA as of a particular effective date."

i can see why you and others might have been skeptical about the program from the outset. but it's a big jump from "you should have seen this coming because the government is a bunch of grifting scumbags" to "it's your fault that you got swindled and it's morally wrong for you not to pay your fraudulently induced debt."

well come on it wasnt fraudulently induced. it was that you chose an employment path afterwards (you had no idea as an 0L applicant that you would've been able to land a DOJ, etc job) on reliance on something that you should've known better than to rely on. anything where the time horizon is longer than the current administration is unjustifiably risky given the government's current fiscal situation and entitlement load

you and the military guys are the types that i feel the most empathy for fwiw

No, I was referring to your analysis of various employment options. When you were making your decision on whether to stay in the AUSA's office, you should have discounted the amount of loans you expected to be forgiven to account for the uncertainty of realizing the full forgiveness of your loans. As someone else pointed out, it was fairly evident that something was going to be done to limit PLSF, even if dems had a say in it.

On an unrelated note, I have a question relating to your job. Bump this if you are around.

ah, right. to be sure, though, the possibility we're talking about isn't congress retroactively repealing PSLF; it's congress retroactively repealing PSLF and shitlib courts don't side with the poor public servants. i think that the latter is still pretty unlikely, but biglaw is still probably the right choice when you factor in non-financial considerations like the stress from worrying about retroactive repeal.

what's up?

There is a large portion of society who hold this view and make decisions accordingly.

As I mentioned in the other thread, when you stand to benefit from government largesse that is directed towards one of the party's favored groups, it is foolhardy to not discount the value of the future benefit to account for the possibility that the law may be changed.

I think a realistic compromise is to cap forgiveness at like 20K, with the balance transferred to new PAYE.

Looks like PAYE/IBR are going to 30 years and will be probably be extended out to perpetuity before any forgiveness is ever given.
