Should the Army Student Loan Repayment Program be raised to $100,000?
Since, they’re still saying in the news that they need more people to join the Army (active, reserve, & national guard). Do you think they should increase Student Loan Repayment Program up to $100,000. Let’s face it, a lot of people who go to college have a student that’s higher than $20,000. I know a lot qualified people who would consider joining if it was $100.000. Also, they should pay it in one lump sum. What do you think? Do yo agree?
If the government can come up with money for their private projects and waste it all, why not the troops (That’s a just cause). Believe me, they can afford to do it and it wouldn’t cost us anything because the money’s already there. From what some soldiers tell me, they get the bonuses in small amounts which doesn’t do anything to reduce a student loan (interest does accumulate & they do take out taxes from the bonuses). To those that think people will take the money and run (you probably don’t have that munch life experience). The government can get it back and the person would be messed up for life because of prison time and credit wise (good luck finding a job).
