I side the most with Rocky Anderson on economic issues in the 2012 Presidential election.
You side on economic issues with...
Minimum Wage
Less Important to me
Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?
You and Obama: No, there are more effective ways of reducing poverty than raising the minimum wage
Romney's similar answer: Leave it up to the states to decide
Johnson and Goode's similar answer: No, eliminate all federal wage standards
Debt Ceiling
Somewhat Important to me
Should Congress raise the debt ceiling?
You: Yes, raise the debt ceiling during a recession
Financial Regulation
Most Important to me
Should the U.S. have bailed out the major banks during the financial crisis of 2008?
You and Anderson: Regardless, we should instead enact legislation that prevents banks from becoming too big to fail
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
Less Important to me
Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?
Stein and Anderson: Yes, increase the federal minimum wage to reduce poverty
Debt Ceiling
Somewhat Important to me
Should Congress raise the debt ceiling?
Johnson: No, cut spending
Romney and 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
Most 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
