Warmongers and the profits they make
For all the contempt that the NeoCons shower upon “Old Europe,” they sure seem to find it a good place to invest and even live. Vice-President Cheney likes to tout how great the American economy is, but he and his wife Lynne don’t have much confidence in the dollar. Kiplinger Reports took a close look at the Cheney’s financial disclosure report recently, and found that the Second Couple is betting against the U. S. economy.

(Warren Buffett , no NeoCon, but known for his financial acumen, is doing the same.)
