建立摧毁美国的第一个共和国

Monday, October 6th, 2008 星期一，二○○八年十月六日

By Sam Smith | Of George Bush’s many sins, one has remained unnoted.由山姆史密斯|布什政府的许多罪恶，一个一直unnoted 。 He and his aides are so absurdly inept at most of what they do that they have diverted attention from the fact that America’s collapse began well before Bush came into office and has continued under his command with considerable aid and comfort from the most respected, celebrated well paid subcultures of our society.他和他的助手是如此荒唐的无能在大多数他们所做的事情，他们把注意力从事实，即美国的崩溃开始之前布什上台，并继续他指挥下了相当大的援助和安慰的最受尊敬的，庆祝亚文化以及支付我们的社会。 In the end, Bush is but a painful caricature of a much deeper reality, part of which is that if we had not already been in a state of cultural, political and intellectual disintegration, he never would have been elected in the first place.最后，布什是一个痛苦的，但讽刺的更深刻的现实，其中一部分是，如果我们尚未在一个国家的文化，政治和智力解体，他永远不会被选为摆在首位。

Just one year into Bush’s regime, I spoke at a punk concert and offered some thirty examples of civil liberties that had eroded during the life of anyone only 25 years of age.仅仅一年到布什总统的政权，我以一个朋克音乐会，并提出大约30个例子公民的自由权的削弱在生活的任何人都只有25岁。 I also noted that the earnings of everyone under 25 - black, white, latino, male and female - had declined over the past twenty years, about 5% for the most part - with the earnings of black and white males under 25 down 17 to 21%.我还指出，收入都在25 -黑色，白色，拉丁美洲，男性和女性-已下降了近2 0年来，约有5％的大部分-与收益的黑人和白人男性在25至17日下跌21 ％。 A typical young white male was earning $97 less a week in real dollars than two decades earlier.一个典型的年轻的白人男性收入不到97美元一个星期美元，实际比20年前。 And this was all before Bush got his hands on the country.这是布什面前人人手中获得了该国。

It has become easy and fun to blame it all on Bush - and certainly he has contributed more than his share to the nation’s problems - but as we may discover when he leaves, he has had plenty of predecessors as well as many accomplices who will remain in power.它已成为容易和乐趣，这一切归咎于布什-当然，他的贡献更多的份额比他的国家的问题-但是，当我们可能会发现他离开时，他已经有足够的前任以及许多同谋谁将继续掌权。

A fair judgment would be that America began falling apart about twenty years before Bush took office.一个公平的判决将是美国开始崩溃大约20年前布什上台。 The man in charge at the time was Ronald Reagan, who took two centuries of American history and turned it into a corny cowboy movie that he could understand but had little relationship to reality.该负责人当时里根谁了两个世纪的美国历史上并把它变成陈词滥调牛仔电影，他可以理解，但没有什么关系的现实。 Yet, like Bush, he could not have done it alone.然而，喜欢布什，他不能这样做单独行事。 The purported best and brightest told us it was true.所谓最好和最聪明的告诉我们，这是真的。

And they have yet to tell us the truth about the Reagan years that spawned the deadly philosophy that greed is good, nothing big needs to be regulated and the market will save us all.和他们还没有告诉我们真相的里根来产生致命的理念，贪婪是好的，没有什么大需要加以规范和市场将会节省了我们所有人。

It is useful - if a bit tardy - to review the Reagan facts rather than the legend, for it shows how the most mundanely accurate analysis might have led us in a different direction.它是有用的-如果有些迟缓-审查里根的事实，而不是传说，它显示了如何最精确的分析mu ndanely可能导致我们在不同的方向。 For example, a study published in the Congressional Record in March 1984 looked at the first three years of the Regan administration and compared to the three that preceded it.例如，一份研究报告刊登在国会记录在期待1984年3月在头三年的里根政府和相比，三个之前。 The study found研究发现

- Real GNP growth down 59% -皇家国民生产总值增长率下降5 9％
- Industrial production down 97% -工业生产下降9 7％
- Housing starts down 27% -房屋开工下降2 7％
- Domestic auto sales down 26% -国内汽车销售下降2 6％
- Business failures up 189% -商业失败了1 89％
- Civilian unemployment up 389% -民警失业率上升3 89％
- Real disposable income down 32% -实际可支配收入下降了3 2％
- Prime rate up 35% -总理率增长3 5％
- Federal budget deficit up 215% -联邦预算赤字增长2 15％
- Farm income down 326% -农民收入下降3 26％

Also during the Reagan years:另外，在里根年：

- Four members of the Reagan cabinet came under criminal investigation -4名成员的内阁里根受到刑事调查

- The Reagan administration had secret plans for an unconstitutional takeover of the federal government under an ill-defined national emergency. -里根政府曾秘密计划的违宪接管联邦政府下的定义不清的全国紧急状态。 Members of the government created by the coup were selected and included Richard Cheney.政府成员所造成的政变被选定的，其中包括理查德切尼。

- Reagan’s policies led to the greatest financial scandal in American history up to that point: the Savings & Loan debacle which cost taxpayers billions of dollars. -里根的政策导致了最大的金融丑闻在美国历史上最多这一点：储蓄和贷款的崩溃而花费纳税人数十亿美元。 “” “ ”

- Reagan made major cuts in Medicaid, food stamps, aid to families with dependent children, and school lunch programs. -里根作出了重大削减医疗补助，食品券，援助受抚养儿童家庭，和学校午餐计划。 Reagan fired 13,000 air traffic controllers in a devastating blow to government union members from which the labor movement never recovered.里根发射13000空中交通管制员在一个毁灭性的打击，以政府的工会会员从劳工运动从来没有收回。

- “”The AIDS crisis exploded (with 20,000 deaths) before Reagan could even bring himself to address the issue six years later. -“ ”的艾滋病危机发生爆炸（有2 0000人死亡）前里根甚至可以把自己解决这一问题的六年后。 In his authorized biography he is quoted as saying that “maybe the Lord brought down this plague,” because “illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments.”在其授权的传记，他引述说， “也许是上帝被击落这一祸害” ，因为“非法性行为是违反十诫。 ”

- Reported the Washington Post: “The administration in 1984 secretly sold arms to Iran — which the United States considered a supporter of terrorism — to raise cash for Nicaraguan contra rebels, despite a congressional ban on support for the Latin American insurgency. -报告说，华盛顿邮报： “美国政府于1 984年秘密出售武器给伊朗-美国视为支持恐怖主义-以提高现金禁忌尼加拉瓜反政府武装，尽管国会禁止支持拉丁美洲的叛乱。 An independent investigation concluded that the arms sales to Iran operations “were carried out with the knowledge of, among others, President Ronald Reagan [and] Vice President George Bush,” and that “large volumes of highly relevant, contemporaneously created documents were systematically and willfully withheld from investigators by several Reagan Administration officials.”一个独立的调查得出结论认为，对台军售伊朗行动“进行了知情的情况下，除其他外，里根总统[和]副总统乔治布什， ”和“大量的高度相关， contemporaneously创建文件系统和随意扣留从调查的几个里根政府官员。 “

- “”"”"”After a major tax cut, there was a long recession and unemployment that hit ten percent. -" """""后的一个主要的减税，还有很长的衰退和失业的打击百分之十。

This was the foundation upon which the present disaster has been built - policy drawing upon fantasy, theological rigidity, fiscal myth and a faith in “free markets” actually created by hidden subsidies, thousands of lobbyists, runaway Pentagon purchases and manipulation of the law to favor banks and corporations rather than ordinary Americans.这是基础，目前灾害已经建成-政策借鉴幻想，神学的刚性，财政神话和信仰的“自由市场”所造成实际上隐藏补贴，成千上万的游说者，离家出走五角大楼采购和操纵法有利于银行和企业，而不是普通美国人。

By the time the truth was too painful to ignore - nearly three decades later - the myth had recruited major media from Fox and the Wall Street Journal to NPR and the Washington Post.当真相是太痛苦忽略-近三十年后-神话招募主要媒体从福克斯和华尔街日报到的N P R和华盛顿邮报。 It had been given the blessing of innumerable academics who developed complex justifications for primitive, simplistic and false assumptions.它已被赋予祝福无数学者谁开发复杂的理由，原始，简单和错误的假设。 And even Democrats - from Clinton to Obama - paid regular homage to economic principles whose only true beneficiaries were the very few at the very top.甚至民主党-从克林顿奥巴马-支付定期参拜的经济原则，其唯一真正的受益者是极少数在最高层。

It became the core ideology of an American establishment that would turn out to be the worst and the dumbest.它成为核心思想是美国建立将变成最差的愚蠢。 As Harold Meyerson pointed out recently, even the robber barons of the 19th century used European capital to build American industry such as railroads and steel.正如哈罗德迈耶尔逊最近指出，即使是强盗大亨19世纪欧洲的资本用于建立美洲行业，如铁路和钢铁。 The contemporary establishment has taken American assets and turned them into a massive liability.当代设立采取了美国的资产和把它们变成巨大的责任。

Yet a Rasmussen poll taken after the start of the Bush financial crash found that 59% of voters still agreed with Reagan’s inaugural declaration that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Even 49% of Democrats agree with only 34% demurring.然而，采取拉斯穆森民调开始后，布什的财政崩溃发现， 59 ％的选民仍然同意里根总统的就职宣言， “政府不是解决我们的问题;政府的问题。 ”即使49 ％的民主党人同意只有34 ％ demurring 。

This is not Karl Rove’s fault.这不是卡尔罗夫的错。 This is the result of nearly three decades of indoctrination in anti-social, anti-democratic and economically fallacious absurdities by almost every major instructional institution in the country including Harvard, and the PBS News Hour.这是由于近30年的灌输在反社会，反民主和经济荒谬荒唐的几乎所有的主要教学机构在该国包括哈佛大学，以及公共电视网新闻一小时。 Listening to the post crash coverage I heard words I had not found in the media for years, words like FDR, New Deal, government intervention and Keynes.听力后坠毁的报道我听到的话我还没有发现在媒体多年，像罗斯福的话，新政，政府干预和凯恩斯。 Where had these phrases been all this time?凡有这些词组被这一切吗？ Why was it only now respectable to mention Franklin Roosevelt again?为什么现在才提尊敬的富兰克林罗斯福呢？

And why has the media and academia given so much encouragement to the myth of free markets while ignoring real things that have gotten worse since Reagan took office?为什么媒体和学术界提供这么多鼓励神话的自由市场，而忽略真正的东西，却变得更差，因为里根上台？ Things like:像：

- Minimum wage as % of average wage -最低工资作为％的平均工资
- Real income -实际收入
- Real income bottom 60% of Americans -自下而上的实际收入6 0％的美国人
- Bottom 99% share of total income -底9 9％的份额，总收入
- Income gap between rich and poor -收入贫富差距
- Workers pay as a percent of CEO pay -工人支付所占的比重C EO薪酬
- Older families covered by pensions -老年人的家庭所涵盖的养老金
- Workers covered by defined benefit pensions -工人所涵盖的界定福利养老金
- Annual personal savings rate of families -年度个人储蓄率家庭
- Elder bankruptcies -上古破产
- Housing foreclosures -房屋赎回
- Child poverty rate -儿童贫困率
- Severe poverty rate -严重的贫困率
- Percent of Americans employed -百分比的美国人就业
- Pensions that include health care benefits -退休金，其中包括保健福利
- Number of families without health insurance -数字家庭没有医疗保险
- Number of public hospitals -数公立医院
- Number of corporations controlling most media -企业数量控制大多数媒体
- Student loan debt -学生贷款债务
- Increase in wealth of wealthiest ten senators (up 13 times) -增加财富的最富有的1 0个参议员（最多1 3次）
- Percent of workforce unionized -劳动力的百分比工会

Four years before the Bush crash, Michelle Singletary wrote in the Washington Post:四年前，布什崩溃，米歇尔辛格尔特里写在华盛顿邮报：

“Authors Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi conclude that earning two incomes doesn’t guarantee financial security: In the past 25 years, the number of families in bankruptcy has increased 400 percent, and housing foreclosures are up 350 percent.” “作者伊丽莎白沃伦和阿米莉亚沃伦提亚吉得出结论，收入两笔收入并不能保证金融安全：在过去25年中，许多家庭破产增加了4倍，住房赎回增长百分之350 。 ”

You can find these stories if you look hard enough; what you can’t find is these stories being told in more than one or two places at a time during which those in the worst and dumbest establishment continued to peddle the wonders of the free market.可以故事找到这些如果你看看硬盘不够;你不能找到这些故事是被告知在超过一个或两个地方的时间在那些最糟糕的和愚蠢的建立继续兜售的奇迹自由市场。

The self-defined best minds of our society have engaged in an act of such reckless negligence that it would have produced a criminal indictment if they had been behind the wheel of a car.自定义最好的头脑我们的社会已经进行了这种行为的鲁莽疏忽，它将产生了刑事起诉，如果他们被后面的四轮汽车。 But because they were only driving the politics and economy of a few hundred million citizens, they get to keep their jobs, their op ed pieces and their preferred place in society.但是，由于他们只是推动政治和经济的几个亿公民，就会使他们的工作，他们同版作品和他们的首选在社会中的地位。

In the 1960s, a large number of Americans declined to permit such a fraud to continue, choosing instead to not only rebel against those who had done the damage but to remove their podiums, undermine their status, knock down their pedestals, discredit their reputations and hold them in ridicule.在20世纪60年代，大量的美国人拒绝允许这种欺诈继续下去，而是选择不仅对那些叛军谁做了损坏，但取消其登上领奖台，破坏他们的地位，打掉他们的基座，诋毁他们的声誉和追究他们的嘲笑。

And for awhile America gained breathing room to make things better; for a while we could dream, smile and get things done.一段时间和美国获得喘息空间，使事情做得更好;了一段时间，我们可以梦想，微笑和做事情。

But it’s far more than just a matter of rounding up the usual suspects.但它远远超过只是一个时间的问题搜捕通常的嫌疑人。 If we settle for justice against Paulsen and Bush, for example, then we’ll be no better off than we were in Iraq after getting rid of Saddam.如果我们的司法解决对保尔森和布什，例如，然后我们将没有更好的比我们在伊拉克摆脱萨达姆。

For any rebellion to succeed, for America to rebuild itself, it must shatter the immunity of the status quo in all its vicious dimensions.对于任何叛乱成功，对美国本身的重建，就必须打破免疫功能的现状在其所有的恶性程度。 We have three decades of false teaching, journalistic myth and political corruption to disassemble.我们有三十年的虚假教学，新闻神话和政治腐败，分解。 And we need something to take its place just as the civil rights movement needed freedom schools to replace generations of lies about blacks and whites.我们需要的东西替代它的位置就在民权运动的需要自由所学校以取代一代的谎言，黑人和白人。

America has been deceived, defrauded and defeated by the worst and the dumbest.美国一直蒙蔽，欺骗和失败的最严重的和愚蠢的。 The first step in recovery is to let them know in every way that the party’s over.第一步，恢复，让他们知道各种方式，党的结束。
