The United States, a house of cards:
July 15th, 2007The future of the US dollar and, where Dick Cheney invests his money…yes, they don’t give a fuck about us, really. Fuck, Halliburton left the country, so did Dick’s money. Put two and two together and see if you don’t come up with four…
Let’s examine this closer:
VWSTX: you couldn’t find a safer thing to stick $10-25 MILLION in, if you simply wanted to keep it safe through a rough patch and simply HAD to keep some of your money in the United States. If you had such piles of cash, and you were the Vice President of the United States, why else would you sink it into such a staid and tepid performing item? Can’t move 100% of your assets outside the country, that would just look wrong.
VMSXX: if you were looking for something safer than the above tax free municipal bonds, this tax free money market account may be it. Let’s sink $1-5 MILLION into that!
VIPSX: if you were thinking that inflation was going to accelerate (well, if the US dollar isn’t worth what it once was, eh?) you may stick $2-10 MILLION into this fund.
BEGBX: invest in foreign currency and government/corporate debt outside the United States…to the tune of $10-25 MILLION. Excellent, excellent idea if everything in the US does go completely to shit, you’ve still got a cool pile of cash safely outside the country!
The Cheney’s also have some minor stock holdings, nearly entirely outside the country as well. Isn’t that EXACTLY the kind of thing you like to see in the investments of your Vice President? A real sense of security and safety, knowing that the United States economy is going to be A-OK!!!
