2012 State of the Union address: on Welfare & Poverty

Jill Stein: Right to affordable housing: expand rental & home assistance

We will honor the right to accessible and affordable utilities--heat, electricity, phone, internet, and public transportation--which will be made available to all through democratically run, publicly owned utilities that operate at cost, not for profit.

In honoring these rights we will create the basis for a new economy--an economy that is stable and not vulnerable to speculation.
