I side the most with Jill Stein on economic issues in the 2012 Presidential election.
You side on economic issues with...
Minimum Wage
More Important to me
Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?
You: Yes, and adjust the wage level according to inflation every year
Stein and Anderson's similar answer: Yes, increase the federal minimum wage to reduce poverty
Debt Ceiling
More Important to me
Should Congress raise the debt ceiling?
You and Johnson: No, cut spending
Romney's similar answer: No, drastically cut federal spending so no debt ceiling is needed
Financial Regulation
Somewhat Important to me
Should the U.S. have bailed out the major banks during the financial crisis of 2008?
You: Yes, the bailouts were necessary and appropriate
Obama's similar answer: Yes, but with more restrictions
Stein's similar answer: Yes, and nationalize all big banks
You do not side on economic issues with...
Minimum Wage
More Important to me
Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?
Romney: Leave it up to the states to decide
Johnson and Goode: No, eliminate all federal wage standards
Obama: No, there are more effective ways of reducing poverty than raising the minimum wage
Debt Ceiling
More Important to me
Should Congress raise the debt ceiling?
Goode: No, drastically cut federal spending so no debt ceiling is needed
Obama and Anderson: Offset the debt by raising taxes on the rich and reduced spending
Stein: Yes, raise the debt ceiling to accomodate for added debt and avert a government shutdown
Financial Regulation
Somewhat Important to me
Should the U.S. have bailed out the major banks during the financial crisis of 2008?
Johnson, Romney and Goode: No, we should not let private enterprises rely on the government for bailouts
Anderson: Regardless, we should instead enact legislation that prevents banks from becoming too big to fail
