Oversimplifying the Problem

Since elections are a day away, I wanted to expose the fallacious nature of one of Meg Whitman's campaign slogans.  On her campaign website Meg Whitman for Government claims "If we let California fail, we all fail."  This definitely is oversimplifying the problem and its title is Oversimplification. 

Oversimplification, by definition, is an argument in which complex casual relationships are reduced or ignored in favor of a simple claim that fails to address significant dimensions of the issue.  According to Meg Whitman's argument, the failing of California automatically assumes our (Californians') fail.  This measurement of failing is inaccurate and the standards are not specific enough in her argument.  She implies that if she is elected she will lead the state by her doctrines.  As a result, California will not fail economically, politically, academically, etc. 

Here is a short video detailing her background and major components of her campaign.
