La fameuse notion d’American Dream<\/em> n’est pas seulement un mythe au pouvoir de fascination important, mais au contenu assez vague comme le sont en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral les mythes. C’est aussi une notion que le monde sociologique et universitaire US a voulu appr\u00e9cier d’une mani\u00e8re scientifique, comme un \u00e9tat social sp\u00e9cifique. D’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale pour ce point de vue, l’American Dream<\/em> implique le d\u00e9veloppement et le triomphe d’une classe moyenne am\u00e9ricaniste, signifiant que le syst\u00e8me a apport\u00e9 \u00e0 des citoyens tr\u00e8s d\u00e9munis au d\u00e9part, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral les immigrants ou les pauvres du syst\u00e8me capitaliste, un standard de vie significatif.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’American Dream<\/em>, de ce point de vue, se mesure par une installation dans la vie sociale marqu\u00e9e par la disposition d’une maison particuli\u00e8re, du confort m\u00e9nager, d’une ou deux voitures, etc., et, d’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, par des revenus en augmentation r\u00e9guli\u00e8re. L’American Dream<\/em>, c’est le bonheur \u00e0 port\u00e9e de tous mesur\u00e9 en termes \u00e9conomiques. Cette notion de bonheur renvoie effectivement aux termes m\u00eames de la D\u00e9claration d’Ind\u00e9pendance de Thomas Jefferson (le droit au bonheur\u00a0\u00bb), \u00a0id\u00e9e et expression qui ont toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 appr\u00e9ci\u00e9es comme r\u00e9volutionnaires.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tOn comprend alors combien les statistiques et enqu\u00eates qui s’accumulent contribuent \u00e0 accro\u00eetre le pessimisme, tant des citoyens US eux-m\u00eames que des membres de l’establishment<\/em>. L’id\u00e9e est partout pr\u00e9sente: \u00abAmerican Dream seems to be shrinking<\/em>\u00bb, selon UPI.com<\/em>, le 9 juin<\/a>. L’agence de presse rapporte les derniers statistiques sur le long terme, si inqui\u00e9tantes, telles qu’elles sont publi\u00e9es par USA Today<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe U.S. median family income fell behind in each year from 2001 to 2007 even as the economy grew, economists said Monday. The median income where half the family incomes stand above and half below fell from $59,398 in 2000 to $58,407 in 2007, USA Today reported.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThis is the first business cycle on record where the median family income failed to recover its previous peak, Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute told the newspaper. The slide is likely to provoke downsizing in cars, homes and gadgets, the report said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbFrom 1975 to 2007, the median family home size grew by 50 percent. But shrinking credit and ballooning heating prices are likely to lead to smaller house building projects.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’\u00e9tat d’esprit est, bien entendu, \u00e0 mesure, cr\u00e9pusculaire et m\u00e9lancolique. Le pessimisme actuel des Am\u00e9ricains, suivant une d\u00e9gradation continue, constitue un autre ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne important dans la mesure o\u00f9 il interdit d’envisager un redressement \u00e0 force de r\u00e9action psychologique de la situation actuelle, et de ses tendances.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abA new USA Today poll finds that 54 percent of those surveyed say their standard of living is no better today than five years ago, while a recent CNN\/Opinion Research poll showed that 78 percent of respondents believe the current state of the nation’s economy is poor or very poor. Nineteen percent think the economy is somewhat good, a mere 3 percent say it is very good, and only 46 percent of respondents expect conditions to be somewhat good at this time next year.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCes lignes sont extraites du Progress Report<\/em> de AmericanProgressAction.org<\/em>, du 10 juin<\/a>, avec comme titre \u00abAmerican Dream Unraveling<\/em>\u00bb… Le rapport fait une bonne synth\u00e8se des diverses informations et sources documentant la situation \u00e9conomique et psychologique de l’Am\u00e9rique. Apr\u00e8s une accalmie (dans les nouvelles uniquement), la d\u00e9gradation continue de l’\u00e9conomie US, et le pessimisme des citoyens, sont redevenus un sujet central aux USA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
