There is more economic ingnorance in this thread than anyone can ever attribute to Dick Cheney.
FWIW, the point I suspect Cheney was trying to make is that there are large segments of the economy that economic indicators are struggling to capture.
And, even if his point was that all the unemployed are now really self employed on ebay

, taking one quote and making sweeping generalizations about his economic knowledge is certainly a flawed methodology.
But hey, if you wanna go that route, who am I to stop you.
