Meg In Wonderland

Meg Whitman claims her business experience would help her run California.

She also says she will cut 40,000 state jobs.

Since one of California's big problems right now is a high unemployment rate, it is not clear how firing 40,000 people would help that.

And, what Meg is saying she would do as Governor is exactly the opposite of what she did at eBay. According to her own website: "When she joined eBay, the company had just $4.7 million in revenues and 30 employees; when she retired in March of 2008, ten years later, the company had nearly $8 billion in revenues and 15,000 employees worldwide..."

It looks like Meg's business experience is in doing the opposite of what she claims she can do for California.
