  • (p33) - Bob Corker (R-TN) - You know, there are very few complaints. I mean, life insurance is not what drives complaints at your State Insurance Commissioner’s officer, really, is it? It is just a small percentage, is it not?

  • (p25) - Bob Corker (R-TN) -  Well, it may not—I think this whole issue of authority is pretty incredible, and I think all of us realize that the Fed nor anyone else has the authority not only to deal with AIG but Citigroup or Bank—there is nobody.
    • I mean, I think that is an amazing thing that for some reason only hits my alarm bell, nobody else’s.
    • But there is no entity in our country that has the ability to deal with an AIG, a Citigroup, a Bank of America, anybody.
    • I find that pretty incredible.
