Nina Turner Mocked For Bonkers Claim ‘Student Debt Cancelation Isn’t Paid For By the Taxpayers’

Former Democratic congressional candidate Nina Turner was mocked for absurdly claiming that “student debt cancellation isn’t paid for by the taxpayers.”

“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,” the Bernie Sanders acolyte tweeted on Sunday.

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.

American student loan debt is almost $1.75 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve.

Using taxpayer funds would be the only way to forgive student debt – something conservatives pointed out on Twitter in mocking Turner’s claim stating otherwise.

And where does the federal government get its money to lend? Hmmm. It’s a mystery! https://t.co/3BjWes5Mtc

Wow, what a relief! Hey, real quick, before you go…where does the federal government get the money from? https://t.co/DkCJvHSL6T

Brilliant! The government can always just print more money. What’s the big deal, amirite?

But one thing I don’t get: if it’s “costlier for the government to hold on to debt,” why are the feds hiring an army of IRS agents to shake people down for possibly owing back taxes? https://t.co/UTmNSDOixO

Hi, silly. How does the federal government get the money so it can be the lender?

There must be an adult nearby that can tell you. @ninaturner https://t.co/lxGl4n8BcU

Student debt isn’t paid for by the taxpayers. It’s got electrolytes. It’s got what plants crave. https://t.co/hYPa5VdVEJ

This is what the left thinks.

The government can just make more money, lower costs, raise wages, make things free and write off any debt they feel merciful in acting on that day. https://t.co/SQaKj3ku5w

I don’t know what side business the federal government is running to make it’s money. But I wish it would get a lot better at it so it wouldn’t need my taxes at all. https://t.co/zoPd0nEoGp
