The American Dream

[hortysir]

Crawling back out from beneath his rock, Van Jones makes his way back in to the limelight with his new organization:

Rebuild the Dream

Where you can find the hard-hitting and thought-provoking points such as:

Americans across the country said enough is enough. The people of this country are sick of their representatives in Washington playing games while millions still suffer without jobs

And why the need to "Rebuild" the American Dream?

Is that anything like "Fundamentally Transforming America"?


And if, and I do mean IF the American Dreams needs rebuilt, whose fault would that be?

Zogby Poll: Faith in American Dream Sinking

It looks like that immediately after Obama being elected the majority of Americans thought the American Dream was still possible.

Now? Not so much.


So what needs rebuilt?
The Dream itself? Are we dreaming about the wrong things, maybe?


Maybe Van Jones has some suggestions as to what the New and Improved American Dream should be...
