Jill Stein's Policies - Specifically on Economy
Old Text. Economy In her various political campaigns, Stein supported industry nationalization and guaranteed employment. In 2015, Stein was critical of official employment numbers, saying that unemployment figures were "designed to essentially cover up unemployment," and that the real unemployment rate for that year was around 12–13%. In February 2016, she said that "real unemployment is nearly 10%, 2x as high as the official rate."

New Text. Economy

In her various political         campaigns, Stein supported          some industry nationalization and guaranteed employment. Specifically:  “we need grassroots         democratic control of the          resources of society. Nationalizing         failed banks and the automobile industry can be one step          toward filling those          needs. Our government and our economy must focus on the needs         and potentials of          people and the planet – instead of serving a wealthy few.” ([https://web.archive.org/web/20141019035142/http:/greenpapers.net/jobs-for-all-with-a-green-new-deal/ https://web.archive.org/web/20141019035142/http://greenpapers.net/jobs-for-all-with-a-green-new-deal/  )

During her 2012 and 2016         presidential runs, Stein          called for "nationalizing" and "democratiz[ing]" the          Federal Reserve, placing it under a Federal Monetary Authority          in the Treasury          Department and ending its independence. She supported the creation of         nonprofit publicly owned          banks, pledging to create such entities at the federal and          state levels. In a         2016 interview Stein said she believed          in having "the government as the employer of last resort." Stein's 2016 platform         pledged to guarantee          housing but did not offer specifics.

Green New Deal

Referring to President Franklin         D. Roosevelt's New          Deal approach to the Great Depression, Stein advocated the          Green New Deal in          her 2012 and 2016 campaigns, in which renewable energy jobs          would be created to          address climate change and environmental issues; the objective          would be to          employ "every American willing and able to work." Stein said that it would be         "through a          community decision-making process." Leonard Zane (talk) 22:07, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

In the lead, please change "which accounted for .36% of the popular vote" to "which accounted for 0.36% of the popular vote". To anybody with less than perfect vision, it looks like 36%. 2001:BB6:47ED:FA58:F9C3:BBA3:F69D:A540 (talk) 08:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
