Letter to Sen Alexander and Sen Corker

The senate did a great job protecting the public from the Big Three but apparently has failed with the banks. If any of the corporations have used "bailout funds" for salaries, bonuses or any form of compensation you had better get the money back and if corporate jets are still flying on taxpayer provided funds you had better get the money back.
 
While having to limit their own spending the public will remember their money being used to pay millions of dollars in bonuses and corporate jets and that will be a bad memory for politicians to try to explain.
 
Congress has a problem with carrying out their responsibilities of oversight. Remember the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in Viet Nam? Remember a similar resolution for the Iraq war? The senate defers too often to the Executive branch instead of being part of the checks and balances of power. With the Patriot Act that you supported we are closer than ever to becoming a military dictatorship. Another Republic into the dust……
