Meg Whitman spent $81,000,000 of her own money to run for the Republican nomination for Governor of California. Yeah, she's a Billionaire, but to me, that's nuts. As a Billionaire I'm sure she's in touch with the common men and women of the state. (As they clean her house and mow her lawn.) Also some of the things she is saying about the California governing is a bit nuts to me. She's railing at big spending and all sorts of things that have been going wrong in Sacremento.
Um, Governor Arnold is a Republican. You are railing at your own party for how fucked up the state is.
She proposes firing 40,000 state employees. Um, so to create jobs, you are firing 40,000 people? Aren't those people going to be a drain on the state because they will be collecting unemployment? That doesn't make sense. The economy is slow right now. It's taking people an inordinately long period of time to find a new job. So 40,000 freshly unemployed people is good how?
Why does she want to be governor? I don't get it. Altruism isn't normal in people who run for office. Ego is. Arrogance is. Thinking they know all the answers is. Seldom do they have the answers. And then they realize they are supposed to work with people to accomplish things. That takes compromise.
Anyway. Oh Boy! now we get to watch politcal ads for the next 5 months until the election this fall. Where's the Tivo remote...
