    CANDIDATE SUMMARY
  • Stein called for a massive jobs creation program to boost the economy.
  • She supported reducing the deficit by creating jobs, cutting military spending, and changing how income is taxed.

    • Green Party Stein on budgets[edit]

    • In April 2013, Jill Stein criticized President Obama's 2014 budget proposal for cutting into Medicare and Social Security. She added, "The real solution to the recession is to jump start the economy through a massive job creation program like the New Deal that sparked the recovery from the Great Depression." According to Stein, her program "would create 25 million jobs in green energy, sustainable agriculture, public transportation and infrastructure improvements as well as jobs that meet our social needs, including teachers, nurses, day care, affordable housing, drug abuse and violence prevention and rehabilitation. It would be funded by scaling back the oversized military budget to year 2000 levels, adopting a Medicare for All insurance system that would save trillions of dollars, requiring Wall Street gamblers to pay a small (0.5%) sales tax, taxing capitol gains as income, and taxing income more progressively."[2]
    • On her 2012 presidential campaign website, Stein advocated for reducing "the budget deficit by restoring full employment, cutting the bloated military budget, and cutting private health insurance waste."[3]
