Cheney Needs Help in Keeping it Real !!
ECONOMY – FORGET UNEMPLOYMENT, WHAT ABOUT EBAY?:Vice President Dick Cheney had a novel approach to viewing the economy. "Indicators measure the nation's unemployment rate, consumer spending and other economic milestones, but Vice President Dick Cheney says it misses the hundreds of thousands who make money selling on eBay. 'That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago,' Cheney told an audience in Cincinnati on Thursday. 'Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay.'"
In response, Sen. John Edwards pointed out, "If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands, this economy would really be cooking."
Note: And Mr. Cheney...how many of those selling on eBay do it to make a living? or how many obtain pensions, health care, chance for advancement, professional development or enhanced career paths via their eBay sales??
