Four Reasons Why the Student Loan "Forgiveness" Program Harms National Security
[Lawfire] Monday’s announcement by the Congressional Budget Office that President Biden’s student loan ’forgiveness’ program will cost a whopping $400 billion has left many commentators aghast. Curious as to how this will harm national security?Consider this: in the midst of one of the worst recruiting years in the history of the All-Volunteer Force (AVF), the commander-in-chief instituted a student loan ’forgiveness’ program that will predictably undermine the AVF’s viability by disincentivizing military service to the detriment of America’s security. Furthermore, the program will also harm national security by draining needed resources away from defense and institutionalizing a troubling expansion of unilateral presidential authority. Finally, it creates a mindset that erodes the quintessential American virtues of self-reliance and altruism and, more importantly, wrongly suggests that freedom is free.
