(I mean you can say government finance doesn't work that way - but actually it does, because regardless of how the SYSTEM functions, the political calculus is "you can't have this, because we need to pay for that" and taxes are only as "fake" as your willingness to go to jail - stop paying em and the really real IRS will visit you soon. So yeah, MMT says you're not paying fascist militias with this settlement - but the fascists sure think you are and will behave as such)
