I asked the bank for a loan, and promised
to repay the debt in short order, but they said that they thought the
debt was senseless and said that my income has not been good enough
lately to repay such a large loan.

Remind them that as a taxpayer you are now part owner of the bank. You have
a voice in who gets loans.

Besides, once AIG starts paying back the money they owe, the government will
be sending us our share and you'll have plenty of money to pay your debt.
That will happens soon so don't worry.
