Okay, this is a former Ohio State Senator ... a Democrat, of course ... but, still. Good grief!

Why on EARTH would taxpayers ever want to foot the bill for an education that produced talking points like this?!
We’re not sure what the Hell Nina Turner was thinking with this tweet, or where she thinks the government gets their money ... but yeah.
This was dumb.
Monumentally dumb.
In fact, calling her tweet dumb is an insult to dumb tweets.
Nina Turner (@ninaturner) ~ FYI — Student debt cancelation isn’t paid for by the taxpayers, the federal government is the lender. It’s costlier for the government to hold on to the debt.
Uh, Nina ... it was President "Choom Gang" Obama who decided that the federal government would take over 100% of the student loan program from banks and other private-sector lenders back in 2010. So, you sayin' that was a bad move, eh?
FYI – yes, yes taxpayers DO foot the bill.
Pay. Your. Own. Debts.
Corey A. DeAngelis (@DeAngelisCorey) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} Who funds the federal government?
Nina is still trying to figure out what a woman is ... she doesn't have time or the ability to figure out who really funds the federal government.
Is it the Tooth Fairy?
Say it’s the Tooth Fairy.
Or maybe it’s the money tree that Elizabeth Warren planted in her backyard.
This didn’t go so hot for Turner:
Brad Polumbo (@brad_polumbo) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} You literally don’t understand how basic math works. 😂🤦🏻♂️
She came back with this ...
Nina Turner (@ninaturner) ~ {Replying to @brad_polumbo} Says a person that thinks rich people have to take out massive loans to go to college ...
Says a person who ... just sayin’.
Gotta love that college education she wants us all to pay off for her.
Polumbo educated her a bit.
Brad Polumbo (@brad_polumbo) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} Yes, it is an objective fact that very affluent people — the top 20% of income earners — hold way more student loan debt than working class and poor people.

Brad Polumbo (@brad_polumbo) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} In fact the biggest beneficiaries of the student debt “pause” are doctors and lawyers. These are all objective facts/figures — not opinion. Since you do so much activism on this subject you should familiarize yourself with them.

The government cannot give anything to anyone without first taking it from someone else.
JohnGalt (@JohnJGaltrules) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} I don't even know where to start with this nonsense. You are either incredibly stupid, or an Incredible liar. Looking at your tweets you're both. Nevermind.
S. Marshall Wilson (@smarshallwilson) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} Your assertion is nonsensical. The Federal Government has no money that it doesn’t first confiscate from taxpayers.
Shay Patrick Cormac (@ShayCormac_1) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} Um, who funds the federal government? Seriously, you can't be this stupid ... can you?
Yes, she can.
That pretty blue-check by her name says so.
John Burnett (@IamJohnBurnett) ~ {Replying to @ninaturner} Nina proved why people don't want to pay for other people's degrees. After all the education, activism, and running for office, she still doesn't grasp the basics.
EXACTLY.
