Cheney: Economic Stats Miss EBay Sales
Advertisements [?]
CINCINNATI - Indicators measure the nation's unemployment rate, consumer spending and other economic milestones, but Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) 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 Ohio. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay."

That's why all the economic indicators suck so bad - they forgot to count the ebay sales! :eyes:
