Cheney: bad economic news ignores eBay sellers

Economonic indicators may be down, but Vice President Dick Cheney says that ignores the hundreds of thousands who make money selling on eBay, http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/9627181.htm?1c">reports the MercuryNews.

'That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago,' Cheney told an audience. 'Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay.'

So is this the vaunted New Economy, selling off the stuff you bought burning the dot.boom to pay next month's rent?

Hopefully, Dick will have plenty of time to make those lucrative eBay sales himself, come January 20th.

I've submitted this to the new Slashdot Politics section -- if enough of us submit it, it'll get posted there for all Slashdotters to see.

1. Wow... he's really reaching here...

Next he'll be saying we're actually in an economic boom due to little Susie's lemonade stand going unreported.
