he must have been watching california congressman david dreyer(sp?) on tv the other night. i recall hearing him say 143K people (not 450K) were working on ebay full time. with all the fencing of stolen goods on ebay, that might be a correct number.

mishedlo;

Sorry - I was making the Ebay reference as a joke. t4texas is correct in that I did hear the number from David (and I think the spelling is ) Drier. The number he gave when I watched was definatly 450,000 thousand though. ..........But think about that for a second; the Bush administration is using the increased jobs of selling stuff on Ebay as a suggestion that the economy (jobs) is doing great!!!! Selling old crap made under another administration is something to brag about?
