Why is this a problem?

A loan is a loan. If I loan personal money to one of my businesses it's perfectly lawful to treat it as such and for the business to replay me.

Why should it be different when a politician loans money to their own campaign?

Do you want us to be governed solely by the ultra rich who can fund their own campaigns without recompense?
