Along the lines of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal solution to the Great Depression, Jill Stein advocates a "Green New Deal" in which renewable energy jobs would be created to address climate change and environmental issues with the objective of employing "every American willing and able to work". Stein would fund the plan with a 30% reduction in the military budget, returning US troops home, and increasing taxes in areas such as capital gains, offshore tax havens, and multi-million-dollar real estate. Stein advocates creating sustainable infrastructure based in clean renewable energy generation and principles such as increasing intra-city mass transit and inter-city railroads, creating 'complete streets' that safely encourage bike and pedestrian traffic, and regional food systems based on sustainable organic agriculture. Her running mate is Cheri Honkala, an anti-poverty activist in Philadelphia.
