Political problems
The paper will be illuminating the social and political problems that Americans have been facing since time in memorial. It has been too long since Americans suffered the problems of poverty, unemployment, violent crimes, education, and health care. Since this is an election year it is imperative to note the various issues and solutions that candidates have formulated for these problems(Bernstein). The paper will also cover the manifestos and proposals that two candidates have offered to the public that are meant to give solution to these problems. The strategy that the paper will use is that it will be taking an issues address the impact it has on the U.S citizen then give the opinion and plan of the candidates.
Poverty
According to study done it is estimated that more 46.6 million Americans are poor. It means that these number of citizens live in conditions that are not conducive to human beings. Poverty means that many of the citizens cannot afford basic needs. Mostly these basic needs are a decent meal, shelter, education, and health care("Medicare For All: Leaving No One Behind"). It unfortunate that in this era the U.S cannot afford basic health care to all its citizens. The main causes of poverty in the U.S is unemployment, whereby many people cannot secure a stable job that was caused by the great recession. It has been hard for the U.S government to rise from the great recess that happened where many industries closed down thus lay off majority of their employees. Another cause for poverty is the cost of health care in the U.S. Majority of the U.S citizens are not medically covered making them vulnerable to poverty because if a family member falls ill the family is forced to sell off their property to attend to the medical bills. Others are forced to quit their jobs as a result of illnesses creating a big set up to the society.
According to Bernie Sanders his move is to promote economic inequality for all Americans, especially the blacks who are the system of governance has been disproportionate to them. He addresses this issues by saying once there is systematic equity and the people of colour can gain the same opportunity in the employment sector then there is a possibility of eliminating poverty by increasing the economic growth(Bernstein).
On the other hand, Jill Stein is more focused on guarantying economic human rights through rightful accesses to food, housing, basic utilities for every citizen. She pledges to ensure that there is provision of a right to a decent affordable housing that has the exceptions of immediate stoppage to foreclosures and evictions("Jill Stein On The Issues"). She intendeds to expand on the rental and home ownership assistance.
Unemployment
Study has it that 5% of Americans are faced with unemployment. The rate of unemployment is proportional to that of poverty because majority of the people who are not employed are poor. Causes of high unemployment in the U.S is poor economic condition that was caused by the recession that made several companies and industries to close down. The other cause is lack of adequate skill for the job since one did not get educated to acquire the skills due to poverty. The global competition is the third reason whereby due to globalization many foreigners come to America and take job opportunities from the Americans.
Bernie Sanders is advocating equality in the employment sector whereby the blacks should be given equal chance to work and be part of the American people who contribute to its economy("Medicare For All: Leaving No One Behind"). He emphasizes on the people of colour because he thinks the system has been unfair to them and it is high time they were offered the same treatment in the employment sector.
Jill Stein has an evolutionary plan that is called The Green New Deal that focuses on emergency job creation that addresses unemployment. She is proposing that the Green Party is more focused on jobs that will cater for human needs and jobs of ecosystem and restoring ecosystem("Jill Stein On The Issues"). The Green Party’s has endorsed the liveable wage and guaranteed basic income. She terms it to be the best because both temporary and permanent workers must be paid a living wage.
Violent crimes.
As a result of poverty and lack of unemployment the crime rate in America has considerably gone up to alarming level. Unemployment has turned majority of the youth in America to seek other means of survival. Many have joined gangs for protection and provision of dangerous labour like those of drug trafficking. The American justice system is also to blame because as it has lived to be biased especially towards people of colour who sometimes are associated with crime wrongfully. Another cause of violent crimes is the readily available of weapons that are easily accessible from the American borders. Once someone can easily access a gun ten he or she is most likely going to use it wrongly.
According to Bernie Sanders efforts should be made not to build more jails but to build more schools. He advocates the fact that if more people were educated they could earn a decent way of living. Additionally he vows to confront the school-to-prison pipeline through reforming education sector for the prisoners. He believes if a prisoner is advanced in his or her education then after jail there is minimum chance of crime.
The most radical thing that Jill Stein is advocating for is ending racism and police militarization. She vows to change the judicial system to the level that there will be no more mistakes that lead to innocent people being killed. She advocates that the judicial system should move away from capital punishment system that is punishing innocent people("Jill Stein On The Issues"). She is also advocating for immediate legalize medical use of marijuana and permit it to be legally sold under recommended regulations.
Health care
Study has that the U.S has the most expensive and yet least effective health care system. Due to the level of poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment in the U.S most of its citizens do not receive adequate medical care. Most people in the U.S cannot be able to afford health insurance because they are either not employed or lack the proper income. Lack of information is also another reason majority of the people do not have access to proper health care. Since the government introduced the Obama care many people do not know about it and thus they do not register at will. Most people are insured by their employers and since there is a high percentage of people who are unemployed then the find themselves not medically insured.
Bernie Sanders advocates for Medicare for all and insists that it is high time Americans can have access to health care they need regardless of their income. His pledge is to ensure that employers stop forcing Americans to choose between bargaining for higher wages or better health insurance because it is high time health care is recognised as a right and not a privilege(Bernstein).
Jill Stein approves that health care is a right and is so much on the women reproductive rights. She interprets health care as a right to everybody and talks about birth control not to be determined by the employer. She goes further and upholds the fact to maintain the current abortion rights and provision of free birth control("Jill Stein On Health Care")
Education
The U.S education system has been termed as the most expensive and less effective in this error of globalization. The U.S education system cannot match the levels of innovativeness and technological of other most developed countries like Canada and japan. The system has been a let-down that is why there is so much unemployment among the American citizens because they cannot cope with the emerging technology that is being introduced by the globalization. Most students studying in the U.S have difficulties working in other parts of the world because the curriculum lack the innovative part of it.
Jill stein is advocating it is time to bail out students instead of bailing out banks. Students should be bailed off their education loans so that they can enter into their careers without these debts. She advocates instead of offering the loans the government could as well just make the public higher education free("Jill Stein On The Issues"). It is the responsibility of the government to give the young a good start in life.
Bernie Stein on the contrary believes that all students deserve a chance to get an affordable, quality education. He has been in the front line in trying to make public high education tuition free. He has also gone to an extent of sponsoring bills that are focused in reducing interest rates on the high education loans("Bernie Sanders On Education").
