Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib told Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell that he “has the authority” to bail out the governments of Detroit and Puerto Rico.
“My city filing for bankruptcy was devastating to so many retirees, sir. Forty, 50 years they worked for the city of Detroit, saw their pensions completely diminished, gone,” Tlaib said to Powell during a House Financial Services Committee hearing.
“Do you not believe that the governments of Detroit and Puerto Rico also play a vital role that should be preserved even if a financial crisis makes it hard for them to borrow money?” she added.

Neither should get taxpayer money!
Make it a loan! Make sure we get it back!
I would think Billionaire Obama could give money back to Detroit. After all , how much did he get to place Muslums there in the first balance.
TALIB Y DON'T U DONATE 90% OF YOUR SALARY 🖕
Their financial problems are a direct result of corrupt Democrats running them into the ground.
vote dem forever and get the shaft
The people complaining about “loosing” their pensions are the same greedy people who voted for the politicians who promised them exorbitant salaries and pensions.
Government should be run more like a business, get paid what you are worth and if not doing a good job, be fired!!!
NO. they made their beds, now lay in it...DEMS of course.
“My city filing for bankruptcy was devastating to so many retirees, sir. Forty, 50 years they worked for the city of Detroit, saw their pensions completely diminished, gone,” Tlaib said.
Well now.. who elected (and re-elected) the officials that did that, Mzz. Tlaib? Trump? Mr. Powell?
WE have worked hard for 50 years too-- and not to bail out your pension fund or a very corrupt government in Puerto Rico.
Nobody is borrowing money
Nobody
The Fed is PRINTING money (currency)
When was the last time that happened??
I don't think the US can continue to cover these governmental robberies. We are having a lot of trouble borrowing money to cover this Ponzi scheme that is the US government.
Dope obviously has no grasp of economics; bail outs, freebies, trophies for everyone is radical left mantra.
Who is “WE”?
Me and You?
The Fed PRINTS currency out of thin air.
Nobody is borrowing YOUR money (assuming you have some in a bank).
The banks are printing money
Wake up
Stupid dumbocrats! Always asking for handouts to fund their corruption.
3:13- no duh. That's where money (currency, really does money need further need explanations?), has come from for over 200 years! We all know that!
Democrat politians created this problem and they should have been more responsible. They created this problem then they are responsible not the US tax payer.
Maryland is getting in the same predicament by the politians stealing from the State Employee Retirement Fund and not paying anything back and there is no interest paid on this theft. This is being done by the Democrats and Republicans
vote Republican and avoid the problem in the first place!
Detroit YES / P.R NO
P.R don't want to be a state , so Hell no !!!
They don't even pay Federal Taxes like we do, but, want their
American benefits & act like one of us when it suits them !!!
Not Fair to us in America , & has been going on for far too long !
Let them be their Own country then , they don't deserve Our $$
They just want their cake & eat it too & most don't like us at all !!!
P.R are Only Americans WHEN they need something !!! $$$$
