Joining his six other Georgia Republican allies in the House of Representatives, Rep. Paul Broun has voted against a proposal to reclaim the bonus money from AIG.
Granted, it's not always the best course of action to base your decisions based on the wishes of the electorate, but it is important to note that 76 percent of the country thinks AIG should return the bonus money to the federal government.
You know, I keep hearing about how Broun is this supposed populist, but rewarding one of the financial firms that helped cause our current economic crisis at the expense of the taxpayers he claims to be fighting for doesn't really seem like putting his constituents first.
