Dear Meg Whitman

Dear Meg Whitman,

 I know you keep making promises to fix California with your three main plans about creating jobs, cutting spending, and improving education. But all of your promises seem vague and they don't seem specific enough. While I agree with the ideas, I don't agree with the means of making them possible, because they don't exist.

Specifically, on your address about the issues of cutting government spending. I don't see how reducing the workforce would help your other plan about creating jobs--you contradict yourself! And if you want to fix the spending on California, first you have to fix the debt. The debt is--what is it now? Something over 40 billion dollars? 100 billion? The numbers are different in every place.

There are a bunch of businesses out there that are doing charity--like Pepsi and their Refresh Everything project. They're giving away millions. Why can't you cooperate with companies like that to make a difference? They can help pay off our debt, and perhaps eventually the whole country's. There are thousands of businesses out there like that, able to help out but not. Why not ask for their assistance?

Just something to think about.
