    1. I read Kiplinger's regularly, and haven't seen the article mentioned in this link. where is that article?
    2. I thought Cheyney, Bush, Clinton, Gore, etc. had to put their money in blind trusts just to avoid this kind of thing?

    Sounds like more evidence of betrayal from "our leaders". Prepare for third-world Amerika and keep looking up.

    S.O.P.

    When hit with some facts that don't look so good, joke and carry on like it never happen, and hope that it goes away...

    We have seen this procedure time and time again with this group when we're talking about this White House.


    Oh well.. some things never really change do they?

    Get real. A left wing article published by a left wing site with a left wing agenda making unfounded assumptions why Cheney has invested the way he has. It is silly, falls awfully close to libel, and deserves no intelligent consideration.

    Anything that doesn't agree with your preconceived notions is always labeled ''Liberal." I guess this is easier than actually commenting on the facts.

    For you and Carpro, this administration can do no wrong.:rolleyes:

    What do you propose we do about it, Jamie? You don't see making jokes as a good answer, so you must have something in mind that we should be doing. We don't have an opportunity to vote them out of office and I don't see this generating any kind of impeachment process, so what are we to do other than a) make jokes, or b) sigh in disgust at the "leaders" that we elected? Or, we can do both a) and b). :)

    Well, your point falls way short since this article was first found in Kiplinger. Do you know of, or have you ever heard of Kiplinger?

    Maybe you should do a little background work before you jump the gun with these far fetched ideas of yours.

    You are correct in that there is nothing we can do about it. But that shouldn't stop people from knowing the truth. Hard working people that invest their moneies in our country, and yet he is banking on failure.

    That, my friend is no joking matter and we will see that it's not in the coming years.

    There are things that can be done on an individual level to prepare. One potentially prudent move would be to get out of the Federal Reserve Monopoly money and put that paper into something that will have value after the "dollar" collapses.

    Kiplinger is not left wing by any stretch. And how is this news? Both Bush and Cheney's financial managers (who act independently) have each in age-appropriate investment vehicles.

    Naturally, the hacks on the left see this as more cannon fodder. It isn't. Blind trusts are just that. Seems like smart financial advice for two sets of aging soon-to-be retirees.

    I'm curious as to the portfolio holdings of those who are so "outraged" by this. I would bet that you have similar holdings in each of your portfolios.

    One piece of advice to all. Seek a competent financial advisor for your retirement needs. Don't count on SS to bail you out. Take control of your financial future.

    ConterPunch is left wing. Mike Whitney is left wing. And this article could not be found in the archives of Kiplinger. Where I assume it would be since it was written in July of last year. MY point is made and validated.

    Sheer speculation.

    When you can prove that Cheney actually directs where his investments have gone for the past 6 years, you might have a point to make.

    Until then...:rolleyes:

    Go look at the link I provided. It's from Kiplinger's site.

    No point made or validated other than to show that you are not even bothering to read the links or articles posted...

    Isn't that exactly what you were and still are doing with the Democrat led congress? The election didn't even grow cold before you started to spout off. So don't talk to me about speculation. It's one of your many games.

    Until then what? Wait until we find out the truth and that the dollar is going to get hit? By then it's too late.

    It's ashame you guys can't even take a well written article and discuss it rather than just mock and joke about it. As I said before history never lies... time will tell.

    Thanks Tom for at least having the backbone to tell it like it is. People do need to watch out for themselves, and not expect SS to take care of everything.

    In doing so, people need to be informed, and this article, in my opinion will help guide some people to have a better view of their investments. It's not "news" per sec, but it's good to know to be prepared.

    At Wal-Mart, when I worked for them as a manager, one of their "moto's" to keep us going onward and upward was the five P's, and I still use this today.

    Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. Sounds corny until you put it to use, and see it's true.

    This article helps people know more and plan better.
