Jill said “Our nation—and our world—face a perfect storm of economic and environmental crises that threaten not only the global economy, but life on Earth as we know it. The dire, existential threats of climate change, wars for oil, and a stagnating, crisis-ridden economic system require bold and visionary solutions. In this election, we are deciding not just what kind of a world we want, but whether we will have a world at all.”(-Jill Stein) On a fortune insider Jill stated “I believe the U.S. economy needs a Green New Deal: an ambitious yet secure economic and environmental program that will revive the economy, turn the tide on climate change, and make wars for oil obsolete—allowing us to cut our bloated, dangerous military budget in half. Building on the concept of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, the Green New Deal calls on communities, government, and ordinary people on the scale of World War II to transition our energy system and economy to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030.” (-Jill Stein). In Jill's power to the people plan she wants to create living wage jobs for every American in the need for a job, and also replacing unemployment offices with employment offices. Jill called to set a $15/hour federal minimum wage. She also wants to replace corporate trade agreements with fair trade agreements. (www.Jill2016.com)
