Many of our current domestic disasters stem from a slate of legislation passed six decades ago: President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, which resulted in a disastrous centralization of power in the Washington bureaucracy and then sought to impose its destructive values on Americans.
Lastly, the federal government's centralized regulation of almost every segment of the economy began in the New Deal, but it was dramatically deepened and accelerated by the Great Society.
Johnson's Great Society birthed a fundamental abdication of self-government, creating a nation under the rule of bureaucracies.
The Great Society ultimately subordinated state and local governments, volunteer organizations, individuals, and local businesses into a centralized bureaucratic system unlike anything America had ever experienced in peacetime.
These were the people who were confident they could reshape America through big government programs, which they called the Great Society.
The Great Society was designed by government bureaucrats, academics, liberal ideologues, and pro-government interest groups.
The Great Society would go on bureaucratically with enormous resources, a growing federal bureaucracy, and the power to impose federal rules on state and local governments, voluntary associations, and private businesses.
