    It has been for a long time. Government power increases, individual power has been decreasing.

    Coming soon to a New World Order near you: social credit! Earn points by behaving like the government wants you to behave! Get penalized if you don’t act like a doubleplusgood citizen! What could be more fun? Join me for today’s Thought For The Day as we discuss China’s new Sesame Credit system and the gamification of your enslavement

    And if if it wasn't for a growing government, that would not have happened?

    Yeah, but the same could be said 40 years ago. Your response is kind of a non answer.

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

    The world is significantly more free and prosperous than it was 30 years ago. That seems like a good direction.

    The United States has improved in some areas and worse in others. The United States will probably continue the trend toward more socialism indefinitely.

    Communism has failed throughout the world. Poverty has plummeted.

    Socialism is the bad I mentioned, but the economy is still growing and innovating. The US will continue to be more prosperous.

    Some areas of personal freedom have improved. Marijuana is becoming legalized. Gay marriage is legal. Homeschooling is legal.

    Since america cannot be great , will not improve and you are aware of this , you must be responsible and prepare to defend yourself against the evil forces.

    Any society that steals from the productive under force and gives it to others will be failed . In a non failed society voluntary , local charity can meet this for the few who really need it . This society is so failed it does little but expand this fail behavior .

    I think the world should spin counter-clockwise every once in a while. Give it a new direction. Just to mix things up. Give everybody a fresh perspective on things.

    Do you think gravity will be strong enough to hold us on if that happens? I would enjoy the change in scenery but I don't want to be flung off earth.

    Well, $#@!. I'm a goner. With my luck, I'd have my headphones cranked up and miss the warning.
