Talk about a Congressional rip-off! Student Loans.?

I learned today that many Congressional staff folks can have their Student Loans forgiven. This is done as an 'incentive' to prospective employees. Uncle Sam says: You come to work for us, we pay off your federal student loans. The private sector does this but takes the expense out of private money (profits or income). The US Government does it with taxpayer money! It sure doesn't sound fair to me (I have no outstanding loans, by the way) - a worker today is paying off his or her student loans and also paying off someone else's through the tax code. Does this sound like a rip-off to you? This is a fact, not fiction - look it up on the 'net.
