Fellow California voters. Are you as happy as I am about Meg Whitman?
. . .pouring $180m of her own money back into the economy she helped destroy, and then loosing.
Dork Vader.
The economy was destroyed by a corporate couture that ignored the dangers of short term profiteering by promoting unstable business practices, like derivatives and the sub prime casinos.
Meg Whitman is a product of that culture, and an active participant as a member of the board of Goldman Sachs. She campaigns on a promise to run the state more like a business. Are you one of those true believers that think those corporate jerks did a good job?
And I guess that if I were smart like you, I would open multiple accounts and make myself a top contributor too.

California has been under attack from Texas since Enron, gaming the utility industry, poured money into a democratic governor who allowed them to bypass the state's, at the time robust regulatory structure, and put the state in that hole you speak of. Now Valero (another Texas Corp) has funded prop23, that would give them a tax break.

"Jerry Brown has been in CA politics since 1975. Yet some how Meg Whitman destroyed the economy?"
Who really controls the economy....businesses, or the government?
Last time I checked, it was the private sector that cut the most jobs because other private sector companies weren't lending money.

I find it funny you say Meg Destroyed CA yet she never held political office.
How ever Democrats have controlled the state legislature the last 12 years. They created the laws, wrote the budget and made the taxes.

Are you stupid?
California Regulation destroyed CA Economy. I know I own a business in CA and deal with it. CA has the most out of control regulation in the USA it leads to a ton of law suites and a lot of expensive legal battles that businesses don't want to deal with. If you don't believe tell me why it is the majority of the businesses in CA are service industries that can not leave the state? Explain to me why Toyota shut down it's factory in SF area and moved it to Texas?
Other things that CA has done to destroy it's Economy.. They shut off water to farms in the Valley to save Delta Smelt. The reason? Sacramento dumps it's sewage in the delta this leads to high ammonia levels that kill the fish. Considering that AG is CA bread and butter that was a rather stupid thing to do. It's lead to 48% unemployment in some Counties in the Valley.
Do me a favor and stop voting. You've got no idea what you're talking about.

lol if you look at the books for the state of california and what california spends it's money on--your post is shown to be inaccurate--California was going bust long before the meltdown due to their many many entitlements and very inhospitable business practices. Businesses were leaving California in droves 10 years before the meltdown due to the influence of idiots like jerry brown. However==be happy==when california goes belly up perhaps texas (the new california) will buy you up for half a cent on the dollar. Then we can give you a job for which your skills are suited--shovel cow manure.
