At first glance, it seems an easy choice ... but look closer - it's not so simple. Of course Cheney better personifies pure evil, but Phil Gramm has caused more real suffering to foreclosed homeowners who’ve lost their jobs and pensions, and can’t afford to buy gasoline.
DICK CHENEY:
Took advantage of the hick rube George Bush (and his hick rube entourage Hughes, Miers, McClellan, Gonzalez) by forging a doctor's clean bill of heart-health, and naming himself VP.
Along with his demonic entourage (Addington, Libby, Rumsfeld, Feith), doctored intelligence and lied to his own party leaders (Dick Armey) to make sure we invaded Iraq ... some now say for the primary purpose of enriching his friends with tens of billions of no-bid contracts to support wartime armed forces and rebuild Iraq (more and more this is looking like the driving force reason we went to war in Iraq).
Claims the VP is immune to subpoenas and National Archiving document requirements, because he's a "hybrid branch" of the government between executive and legislative branches :oyvey:
Consults privately with Big Oil executives to make US energy policy
PHIL GRAMM:
Gramm was the force behind the Enron Loophole legislation that permitted oil to be sold as options like commodities, a change that was the major factor in oil prices jumping.
Top billing in the "Gramm-Leach-Bliley" legislation that deregulated the financial services industry, took cops off the beat on Wall Street, and caused the current crisis.
Had something to do with the subprime mortgage crisis, but the details escape me now
