Seeing tons of comments about what people THINK an article says or about their opinion on something related is causing me to use this site less and less.


Completely agree that some of the comments are off the wall. But in all fairness the Ruerters article doesn't highlight the public sector part enough. To learn more you'd have to do your own research to find that PSLF has stringent requirements.

IMO this is more an example of how bad journalism can have damaging effect on even a well versed audience.


Most of the people who "get" the article already knew what the PSLF was (I suspected it from the headline alone).


In this case I also think the article was really thin on details. Some people get $10,000 written off, others get some other limit to how much they will pay and so on. No clear details I could see about what the limits are and who will be targeted. There probably are details somewhere but this was not really answering my questions.
