In five separate speeches at the end of last month, Vice President Cheney said, 'Real incomes and wages are growing.'

As the Economic Policy Institute reports, while corporate profits have risen 62.2 percent since the peak of the last recovery, private-sector wages have decreased by 0.6 percent - the worst record of any 'recovery' since World War II, and well under the historical average of 7.2 percent.
