If, in the 1960s, you had tried to judge America by looking at the sit-ins and Woodstock, youwould have had a very distorted picture of where the country was heading. 在20世纪60年代，如果你曾试图通过静坐和伍德斯托克事件来判断美国，你会有发现有一个非常扭曲的画面。You wouldn’thave been able to predict that Richard Nixon would win the youth vote in 1972, which hedid. You wouldn’t have been able to predict that Republicans would go on to win four out ofthe next five presidential elections, a streak only interrupted by Jimmy Carter, who ran as aconservative Democrat.

Similarly, if you look only at the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements that havebeen getting so much coverage in the news media, you know very little about the widerAmerica.同样，如果你只在茶党和“占领华尔街”运动，在新闻媒体能获得这么多的报道来回答你的疑问，你就无法广泛的了解美国。 Most Americans seem to understand this. According to data from the PewResearch Center, they are paying less attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement thanany other major story — less than Afghanistan, Amanda Knox, the 2012 election, the deathof Steve Jobs and far, far less than news about the economy.  http://ukthesiss.com/jr/

While the cameras surround the flamboyant fringes, the rest of the country is on a differentmission. Quietly and untelegenically, Americans are trying to repair their economic values.虽然国家周围是环绕华丽的色彩，其余的国家是上演不同的情景。静静地等待，美国人正试图修复其原有的经济价值。

This project begins with the pessimism and anger you see in the protest movements.Seventy percent of Americans now say their country is in decline, according to various polls.When people are gloomy they have fewer babies, and, sure enough, fertility rates havedropped sharply, with the most dramatic plunges occurring in the hardest hit states,according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

But that doesn’t mean people are just shrinking back. Quietly but decisively, Americans aretrying to restore the moral norms that undergird our economic system.

The first norm is that you shouldn’t spend more than you take in. 第一准则是，你不应该花更多的时间在你采取英寸上。After an explosion of debtover the past few decades, Americans are now reacting strongly against the debt culture.According to the latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll, three-quarters ofAmericans said they’d be better off if they carried no debt whatsoever. Not long ago, mostpeople saw debt as a useful tool for consumption and enjoyment. Now they see it as aseduction and an obstacle.现在，他们看到它作为一个演绎和障碍物来表示。

By choice or necessity, eight million Americans have stopped using bank-issued creditcards, according to The National Journal. The average credit card balance has fallen 10percent this year from 2010. Banks, households and businesses are all reducing their debtlevels.
