L’\u00e9ditorial du Washington Times<\/em> du 19 ao\u00fbt 2010<\/a> commence par la question de savoir s’il ne s’agit pas d’une application subreptice de la strat\u00e9gie dite de Cloward-Piven<\/a> (du nom de deux professeurs de sociologie de Columbia University, dans les ann\u00e9es 1960), que la droite radicale US consid\u00e8re comme la strat\u00e9gie<\/a> d’un coup d’Etat d\u00e9guis\u00e9 de la gauche. De quoi s’agit-il, qu’est-ce que serait ce coup d’Etat d\u00e9guis\u00e9 ? Le journal parle des d\u00e9penses du gouvernement central, puisque la strat\u00e9gie Cloward-Piven consiste \u00e0 surcharger le gouvernement de d\u00e9penses bureaucratiques vers les divers \u00e9chelons de pouvoir jusqu’\u00e0 un point de rupture qui donnerait l’argument \u00e0 ce m\u00eame gouvernement de centraliser compl\u00e8tement le contr\u00f4le de l’\u00e9conomie dans ses mains. Une sorte d’installation d\u00e9mocratique du communisme aux USA, pensent les conservateurs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe ton pol\u00e9mique est donn\u00e9, mais, tout de m\u00eame, une partie de l’\u00e9dito vaut la lecture. Le Washington Times<\/em>, en effet, nous livre certains faits des d\u00e9penses du gouvernement US. Cette lecture laisse r\u00eaveur lorsqu’on sait que les USA sont la citadelle du lib\u00e9ralisme anti-interventionniste, les d\u00e9nonciateurs de l’Etat-patron ou de l’Etat-providence, c’est selon<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe Washington Times<\/em> appuie sa diatribe sur trois nouvelles : les mauvaises nouvelles du ch\u00f4mage, la nouvelle selon laquelle le d\u00e9ficit d\u00e9passera $1.300 milliards comme l’ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, et $1.000 milliards l’ann\u00e9e prochaine (les trois d\u00e9ficits cumul\u00e9s sont sup\u00e9rieurs \u00e0 tous<\/strong> les d\u00e9ficits cumul\u00e9s des 219 ann\u00e9es d’existence des Etats-Unis d’Am\u00e9rique qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8dent). Puis on encha\u00eene.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThird came the announcement by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) that yesterday was the 2010 Cost of Government Day, which is the day on which the average American has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of the spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government at the federal, state and local levels. Just two years ago, Cost of Government Day fell an astonishing 34 days earlier. This year, the average American worked 231 days just to support government, which consumes 63.41 percent of national income.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIf anything, ATR underestimates the problem. Of those 231 days, 74 are taken up by regulatory costs. But that includes only the direct costs of new equipment and labor time required by government red tape. Not counted are … hidden costs (such as discouraging new business investment), according to ATR, that may be as large as the direct compliance costs of regulation. Economists at Washington University in St. Louis, leaders in the study of regulation, estimated these costs to be over $1.5 trillion per year in 2009.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTaxpayers foot the bill for an increasing number of government workers at outrageously growing wages. ATR reports that federal employment has increased by 230,000, or nearly 5 percent, in just the past year. USA Today reported Aug. 10 that federal pay and benefits per employee now average more than twice that of private workers: $123,049 compared to $61,051. Federal salaries outpaced inflation in the past decade by 33 percent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbSuch government extravagance is unsustainable, and all this doesn’t even take into account the $115.8 trillion of unfunded liabilities in Social Security and Medicare, as calculated by Michael D. Tanner of the Cato Institute<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n dedefensa.org<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le grand complot du tr\u00e8s grand gouvernement L’\u00e9ditorial du Washington Times du 19 ao\u00fbt 2010 commence par la question de savoir s’il ne s’agit pas d’une application subreptice de la strat\u00e9gie dite de Cloward-Piven (du nom de deux professeurs de sociologie de Columbia University, dans les ann\u00e9es 1960), que la droite radicale US consid\u00e8re comme… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[9958,6812,9959,3440],"class_list":["post-72207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ouverture-libre","tag-cloward","tag-deficit","tag-piven","tag-strategie"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
