The following letter was written in response to a citizens letter regarding the FED and the Dodd-Frank bill. As always, it's awesomely deceptive while not really saying anything specific. That's the way they operate...never specific, pretend to share the same concerns, admit to no real action on anything.
Boom! Done!
You are awesome Senator...said no conservative voter EVER!

Dear Gary,
Thank you for contacting my office regarding the Federal Reserve (Fed). Your input is important to me, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. (Blah Blah Blah. He has to say this...we all know our input goes in one ear and out the other if it goes in one ear at all)
Like you, I believe it is important that we have a highly transparent central bank, including its financial transactions. (Ummmm Is that why you voted to confirm Tax Cheat Timothy Geitner? Yes, I know he's not the FED but all of these decisions are connected don't you think?)
The consequences of Fed decisions have a major impact on the personal financial situation of millions of Americans. (Oh wow, you have a unique way of stating the obvious....as if you care)
hat is why I supported the Sanders Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act during debate on the Senate floor in 2010. The Sanders Amendment expanded Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit authority, implemented discount window reporting requirements, and further limited the Fed's emergency capabilities to prevent the type of lending we saw with AIG and Bear Stearns. (Surely you jest! Dodd-Frank simply codified big bank bailouts. Lucky you, as Hitler once said "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think")
The amendment ensured that any conflicts of interest would be examined by the GAO and made public. (Would that be the same GAO who in 2012 commissioned a study of a study of studies and no I'm not kidding....The government issued a study to study a study done on government studies. So pardon me if I'm not reassured by your confidence in the Government Accountability Office. There is no accountability in government...accountability is only for the plebes...)
With my support, the Sanders Amendment passed on May 11, 2010. (Yay Bailout Bob Corker. You appear do be doing something while doing nothing that changes anything. Thanks for nothin...)
While I did not support the Dodd-Frank Act because of the massive government overreach created in other parts of the bill, I was supportive of enhancing the transparency of the Fed. (ROFLMAO!!! Listen Bobby Boy, not everyone was paying attention in 2010 when Dodd-Frank was all but dead when one very wealth Senator from Tennessee began working with Democrat Senator Chris Dodd to revive the legislation. 2 Weeks before the vote, Bailout Bob Corker is suddenly against it and yes he does vote no. Do you see how this works? He helps revive a bill that would not have passed without his help to bring it back to the floor of the Senate only to turn around and vote no on it in order to maintain his street cred in Tn. So Bobby Boy you were for the Dodd-Frank before you were against it?...Got it!)
Moving forward, I fully support efforts to shine a light on the Fed's activities, especially with respect to the Fed's regulatory duties. (Yes everything except an audit...which let's be real if the FED ever gets legitimately audited, it will be ended shortly thereafter.)
I will always be a tough critic of the Fed when appropriate and continue to closely monitor the central bank's performance in my role on the Senate Banking Committee. (Yes, hence your apt nickname BAILOUT BOB CORKER)
Thank you again for the insight you have provided. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with me as I serve you in the United States Senate.
Sincerely, (Of the Fed, By the Fed, and For The Fed)
Bob Corker
United States Senator
Bob, your form letter is especially lacking in anything believable. Perhaps you are a George Costanza fan and like him, you think "It's not a lie, if you believe it"
Sincerely wishing now for a few good men....knowing that you aren't one of them.
