Saying that loans you took out are fake news and refusing to pay them is definitely one way to fix your finances, I guess, if you never want another loan again and don't want rich bankers to donate to you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

“we’re not convinced it’s legitimate,”
Wow, that's terrible, maybe someone should introduce some legislation to regulate these monsters...
Alright, look rich banker people... I know you don't like how we dems want to regulate the shit out of you for the safety of the public and tax your earnings, but you can deal with us, and the predictable, slow-moving stability we offer, or you can have these guys running things.
Think about it, okay?
I like the joke, but why would the bankers care about such a small sum of money lol?
Precisely because they are bankers. You don't become wealthy by NOT picking up pennies off the ground....
This is not a good argument when Wonderbread-Elon bending over to pick up a penny actually wastes more than he "makes" in that moment
What a financially responsible action from the party of fiscally responsible "adults"
Which Michigan GOP?
migop.org or mi-gop.org?
Wow, that's bonkers. I never want to see a democratic process implode, but it really couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people.
They just wanted show on a small scale how they plan to manage federal debt.
... The same way a sov-cit handles a speeding ticket?
By crying about it and then ultimately paying the ticket + additional costs due to non-compliance. Sounds about right.
Fiscal Responsibility
Party of Law and Order.
That's it? Man, I have a 900k mortgage and I'm doing fine. You're telling me I could have owned the party apparatus of a major US state instead?
This is what happens when any organization is run by an endless cascade of conspiracy theorist nutjobs. People who are unable to conceive or accept reality are also unable to manage reality including finances. Their strategy for everything is to gaslight and throw blame. There's not even a shred of critical thinking about how they're actually going to manage or solve the problem.
Gaslighting a bank will not work as well as gaslighting voters.
