According to Kiplinger's investment magazine, Cheney's people think the economy is headed for the rocks.

Vice President Cheney's financial advisers are apparently betting on a rise in inflation and interest rates and on a decline in the value of the dollar against foreign currencies. That's the conclusion we draw after scouring the financial disclosure form released by Cheney this week.
But the economy's doing so well! The deficit is half what it was three years ago (after inheriting a Clinton surplus), there are more jobs than ever (mostly Walmart greeters because all the manufacturing jobs left the country), American companies are doing better than ever (at generating red ink, that is, viz GM and Ford), and the US exports all over the world (extraordinary renditions).
Behold the legacy of the MBA/CEO Administration: they've learned their lessons well in how to loot an enterprise, especially when it's us poor suckers who'll have to foot the bill for decades.
