Shock and Awww


Vice President Cheney is betting against the American economy, and his investments prove it.
A tidbit:


As of the end of last year, Cheney and his wife, Lynne, held between $10
million and $25 million in Vanguard Short-Term Tax-Exempt fund (VWSTX, news, msgs)
(it's impossible to be more precise because the disclosure form lists holdings
within ranges). The fund's holdings of tax-free municipal bonds mature, on
average, in a little more than a year -- meaning that the fund should hold up
well if rates rise.
The Cheneys held another $1 million to $5 million in
Vanguard Tax-Exempt Money Market fund (VMSXX, news, msgs),
which is practically risk-free and could benefit from continued increases in
short-term interest rates. And the couple had between $2 million and $10 million
in Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities fund (VIPSX, news, msgs).
The principal and interest payments of inflation-protected bonds rise along with
consumer prices, making them good inflation hedges.

I know most of us are used to being lied to, but come on! This man is a trickster of ultimate proportions! He's sinking our yacht in broad daylight!

So, how'd you make the yacht disappear?



Michael, a magician never reveals - I sunk it. At least I think I sunk
it. I mean, I blew it up and I don't see it anywhere!



This is almost as bad as the international bankers creating the federal reserve and engineering a panic, and making it worse to profit and buy huge corporations for pennies on the dollar. Its hard to believe that anyone would destroy the economy for their own profit. Except for some kind of ultra high level CEO Lex Luthor supervillan. Or the penguin.



Halliburton, makin money money money off iraq. That company, to which Mr. Vice prez served as CEO to for 5 years b'twixt 1995 and y2k. Halliburton had made an estimated 20 billion off the bush admin as of 2k5. God knows how much know, and during that time though Cheney said he had no financial ties to Halliburton (lie) He retained his stock options, which rose 3281%. (source) From $200,000 to 8 million. Not that it really matters to the emperor, some estimates have him worth close to 88 million dollars (per hour) jk jk. but seriously sire is bankin. cash stackin in the most ultimate of ways. He will probs just use the money he made off the war for a bigger money bed.


Chump change. Wait till he gets the collapsed economy money. I can only imagine that after all is said and done that he will be worth billions. Ultimate power!!
