They only conceivable way I can see is if there's a tie on a ridiculous government appropriation's bill and casts the tie-breaking "FUCK NO!" vote.

Other than that, I don't see how a VP can have any influence on the economy.
Influence fiscal responsibility when it comes to spending and also influence who is appointed to certain positions. Say Bernake steps down, Romney suggest or push for replacement, he could also bring in people from his old company, Bain & Co.

Look at all the wonderful things Cheney and Halliburton have done!!!
