California was hit HARD by the Great Recession. California racked up a monstrous $28 billion in debt as a result of several years of deficit spending. However, Governor Brown has taken the issue head on and has finally eliminated the deficit. California still has a long way to go to get rid of its debt, but this was the first big step to improving California financial health.
I believe that this is a prime example of leaders stepping up to face the new problems we face today. The governor made some gutsy and hard decisions but they paid off in the end. He didn't kick the can down the road for someone else to deal with. Instead, he faced the problem and came up with new, innovative solutions. He revived faith in Californians that things could turn out all right.
Now I realize this may sound like a compaign ad for Jerry Brown, but I really am impressed by how he tackled the situation. I also believe this example shows that we can have trust in our leaders to come up with solutions for the new problems of today. Finally, let us all strive to solve societal problems and be a positive influence for good.
