The senator said he wiped his debt clean thanks to one effort he made, but social media users didn't think it would work the same for them.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said he found a way to pay off his student loan debt, but many Twitter users don’t think it’s so easy.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, after a segment on President Joe Biden’s student loan debt decision, asked Rubio if a politician can be “successful” and “tell people to pull themselves up by the bootstraps.”

Rubio said a successful politician can absolutely do that and suggested one student loan debt solution that worked for him: writing a book.

“I owed over $100,000 in student loans, the day I got elected to the Senate I had over $100,000 still in student loans that I was able to pay off because I wrote a book and from that money I was able to pay it,” Rubio said.

“If not, I’d still be paying it.”

Twitter users had a field day with this one from Rubio. Talk about STUPID advice.

1. This reminds me of an old SNL bit where "Paris Hilton" is being asked questions

by an audience. One woman tells her she has no money or options, and she doesn't know what to do. Paris Hilton's advice to her was to 'sell her name' because it worked out so well for her. Sure.

2. Oh, now you coastal elites don't LIKE books, all of a sudden?

You can just hear it, can't you?

3. And who bought the books?

It's always some political group that buys them up. No bribery going on there I am sure.

4. It's the same old money laundering technique. Wash, rinse, repeat...

6. ya, what dumbasses would buy a book written by him?

He probably should have kept his dumb mouth shut about it.

5. A more sure-fire way:

be born to wealthy parents. Just ask Mitt Romney how easy it was for him to sell off the stock his folks gave him when he was a "poor" college student and needed the money. Or ask Jared how his father bought him a place at Harvard.

Selling a book may bring in $100K (if you're lucky) but the Bank of Mom and Dad is good for a whole lot more.

7. If you have student loans, don't worry. . .you can always get famous or powerful, peon!
