Le brave Alex Spillius, dans le Daily Telegraph<\/em>, a soulev\u00e9 l’espoir que la d\u00e9gradation de la notation des USA, de AAA \u00e0 AA+ (l’expression devrait figurer comme exercice de phoniatrie pour soigner les troubles de la parole), constituerait un choc tel qu’elle r\u00e9tablirait le bon usage des vertus de l’imperium<\/em> am\u00e9ricaniste, et, par cons\u00e9quent, la pr\u00e9pond\u00e9rance de l’Empire. Ainsi \u00e9crivait-il le 6 ao\u00fbt 2011 (voir notre Bloc Notes<\/em>, ce 8 ao\u00fbt 2011<\/a>) :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abPerhaps S&P’s decision could be the shock that Congress needed. The downgrade may well raise interest rates for consumers, which could make both sides think again about being so intransigent and finally bring the compromise so clearly needed and which has been a hallmark of the country’s legislative history.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIl lui faudra en rabattre, et \u00e9tudier d’un peu plus pr\u00e8s la fascinante psychologie de l’am\u00e9ricanisme, surtout \u00e0 Washington, \u00e0 ce moment de la dynamique en pleine acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration de la dissolution du syst\u00e8me. Au contraire, tout au contraire, rien ne peut \u00eatre plus contraire \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 La d\u00e9gradation de la note des USA par Standard & Poor’s a suscit\u00e9 un paroxysme d’affrontement, \u00e0 Washington, par le biais des diverses \u00e9missions politiques du week-end. Diff\u00e9rents textes sont publi\u00e9s pour mettre en \u00e9vidence combien les commentaires sur cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement n’ont fait qu’accro\u00eetre et approfondir l’antagonisme furieux entre les tendances politiques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’agence UPI expose, le 7 ao\u00fbt 2011<\/a>, les r\u00e9actions diverses du week-end, notamment celle de l’homme qui joua \u00e0 cette occasion le r\u00f4le de porte-parole officieux et intime de Barack Obama (lequel s’est cal\u00e9 dans un silence appuy\u00e9 sur la question, pr\u00e9f\u00e9rant consacrer ces jours d\u00e9licats \u00e0 son 50\u00e8me anniversaire, \u00e0 des r\u00e9unions pr\u00e9-\u00e9lectorales et \u00e0 un week-end de repos \u00e0 Camp David). Il s’agit d’un ancien de l’\u00e9quipe Obama rest\u00e9 proche du pr\u00e9sident, David Axelrod, ici, lors de l’\u00e9mission de CBS Face the Nation>D> de ce dimanche<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe Tea Party brought us to the brink of a default. <\/em>[] For months, the president was saying, let’s get together, let’s compromise. We thought we had such an arrangement with the Speaker of the House … then he went back to his caucus; he had to yield to the most strident voices in his party. They played brinkmanship with the full faith and credit of the United States. This was the result in that. The fact of the matter is that this<\/em> [F&C downgrading] is essentially a Tea Party downgraded. That clearly is on the backs of those who were willing to see the country default.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’argument (Tea Party<\/em> responsable de la d\u00e9gradation de la notation) est repris en chur par les d\u00e9mocrates, le s\u00e9nateur John Kerry et l’ancien gouverneur du Vermont Howard Dean notamment. Dean dit des gens de Tea Party<\/em> : \u00abThey are totally unreasonable and doctrinaire and not founded in reality<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLes r\u00e9publicains r\u00e9pondent avec vigueur : c’est tout le contraire. Politico.com<\/em>, du 7 ao\u00fbt 2011<\/a>, donne comme titre au compte-rendu de cette journ\u00e9e de mise au point : \u00abBlame, insults traded over downgrade .<\/em>\u00bb D’une fa\u00e7on notablement diff\u00e9rente des d\u00e9mocrates, le s\u00e9nateur r\u00e9publicain Lindsay Graham r\u00e9sume sa pens\u00e9e par cette phrase, \u00e0 propos des membres de Tea Party<\/em> : \u00abThank God they’re here<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abIf Congress had listened to the tea party, there would be $4 trillion in deficit reduction in the works, Graham said. The problems that contributed to the nation’s first-ever credit downgrade preceded the tea party’s arrival in Congress, according to Graham. He said President Barack Obama’s policies have failed to address rising unemployment, plummeting housing prices and soaring gasoline prices. If he were in the Southeastern Conference, he would be fired as a coach. He would not have his contract renewed, Graham said of the president.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbRepublican Sen. John McCain of Arizona called the crisis a failure of leadership by the president. I think it’s failed presidential leadership when you don’t put forward a plan, a specific proposal, to work off of, McCain said on NBC. Previous presidents certainly have when we<\/em> [were<\/em>] in a crisis. And, by the way, talking about hostages, lately the Democrats have been calling us terrorists. So we need to lower that level of rhetoric, obviously.<\/em>\u00bb (McCain fait allusion \u00e0 l’accusatioon des d\u00e9mocrates selon laquelle Tea Party<\/em> a tenu le pays en otage, et \u00e0 l’appr\u00e9ciation du vice-pr\u00e9sident John Biden selon laquelle Tea Party<\/em> est constitu\u00e9 de terroristes, ceci expliquant cela, comme il va de soi.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tTea Party<\/em>, lui, renvoie en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral dos \u00e0 dos les deux ailes du parti unique de l’establishment<\/em> (o\u00f9 il a tout de m\u00eame sa place, dont il use sans vergogne). Ainsi, de John Ryan, d\u00e9put\u00e9 de tendance Tea Party<\/em>, et l’un des plus durs parmi les partisans des r\u00e9ductions budg\u00e9taires : \u00abBoth political parties are responsible for the mess we have right now. But I would argue that over the last couple of years, we have gone deeply in the wrong direction.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQuant aux repr\u00e9sentants de S&P, nullement troubl\u00e9s par les attaques d’incomp\u00e9tence venues notamment du d\u00e9partement du Tr\u00e9sor et partout de sortie ce week-end (rarissimes pour des dirigeants d’une agence de cotation), ils ne cessent de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter imperturbablement qu’une nouvelle d\u00e9gradation de la cotation des USA pourrait intervenir dans les 18-24 mois si la situation ne s’am\u00e9liore pas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abS&P repeated its warning Sunday that there was a one in three chance of a further credit rating downgrade over the next six months to two years. We have a negative outlook … from six months to 24 months, Standard & Poor’s managing director John Chambers said on ABC’s This Week.’ And if the fiscal position of the United States deteriorates further or if the political gridlock becomes more entrenched, then that could lead to a downgrade. The outlook indicates at least a one in three chance of a downgrade over that period.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRien, absolument rien n’a chang\u00e9 de ce qui constitue le nud de la crise aux USA, et, par cons\u00e9quent, le centre principal de la crise financi\u00e8re et \u00e9conomique. Ce nud est essentiellement, fondamentalement politique, m\u00eame si la mati\u00e8re qu’il ne cesse d’\u00e9trangler est financi\u00e8re et \u00e9conomique. Les polarisations se radicalisent encore plus, et ne cesseront de se radicaliser \u00e0 mesure qu’on approchera de la campagne \u00e9lectorale active de 2012. Plus que jamais, Tea Party<\/em> est install\u00e9 en franc-tireur, et il commence \u00e0 tirer \u00e0 boulets rouges sur la commission sp\u00e9ciale, le Super Congr\u00e8s charg\u00e9 de r\u00e9partir les $1.500 milliards de r\u00e9duction de d\u00e9penses publiques, qui doivent encore trouver leur destination pr\u00e9cise.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa d\u00e9gradation de la notation des USA n’a absolument pas provoqu\u00e9 de r\u00e9flexe d’union sacr\u00e9e esp\u00e9r\u00e9 par Spillius mais son exact contraire. Cela est d’ailleurs parfaitement conforme \u00e0 la psychologie et \u00e0 l’humeur g\u00e9n\u00e9rales de Washington, avec un pouvoir, Maison-Blanche et Congr\u00e8s, effectivement en compl\u00e8te dissolution et r\u00e9duit d\u00e9sormais \u00e0 l’acrimonie, \u00e0 l’irresponsabilit\u00e9, \u00e0 l’invective Dans ce climat, Tea Party<\/em> triomphe ais\u00e9ment, qui est le seul groupe \u00e0 avoir un objectif financier et fiscal surmont\u00e9 d’une obsession d\u00e9vastatrice : tout faire pour r\u00e9duire, sinon d\u00e9molir Washington. Le syst\u00e8me antiSyst\u00e8me objectivement institu\u00e9 par Tea Party<\/em> fonctionne \u00e0 toute vapeur.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tC’est l\u00e0 l’enseignement essentiel du week-end, bien plus que les situations financi\u00e8res diverses, les menaces de cessation de paiement, les r\u00e9unions, entretiens, pas de deux ou plus, des divers hommes d’Etat et de gouvernement, bien plus que les r\u00e9actions des Bourses (des march\u00e9s) ce matin. Washington plus que jamais divis\u00e9, et qui le sera de plus en plus, c’est la promesse de la poursuite et de l’acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration de la crise. Celle-ci, la crise, \u00e9videmment et plus que jamais politique, \u00e9chappant \u00e0 tous les processus et m\u00e9canismes financiers et \u00e9conomiques, jusqu’\u00e0 ce que finances et \u00e9conomie dans le contexte du Syst\u00e8me soient absolument d\u00e9molies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
