Many people know that Dick Cheney is behind most of what has gone wrong with America's government. The collusion between much of mainstream media and the government, the repression of rights, the war, the war again and on and on. Recently, his office has made the claim that he is not subject to Congressional oversight because his office is part of the legislative and executive branch. Rigghhtttt.
It's just one more made up, fiction that is outrageous and designed to divert attention.
Divert attention from what? Oh, the fact that the VP's office has been raiding the budget of other executive branch offices including the President's, the drug policy, CEQ, the 'faith based' initiatives and all the other offices housed under the White House. Follow along, it's a short story with a major question.
