This was over 40 years ago. The more things change...
"With numerous others, I am greatly disturbed at the rapid move of our government to socialism and what seems to be an approach towards dictatorship...Taxes are becoming back-breaking; expenditures and waste are alarming...The government seems too anxious to give, give, give to the poor, to the aged, to the schools, to everyone, and blinded people feel they are getting something, whereas they pay it to the government so that the government can after great overhead expense return a part of it to the people. And every time a gift returns to the people - a so-called gift - it comes with fetters binding and tying and enslaving. For every block of funds given to the people, they lose a bigger block of liberty."
-pp. 352-353 from Spencer W. Kimball

Eerie.
About the post below...I've been wanting to enroll in an institute class up at slcc...want to join me??? I always used to take classes when we lived in Logan, but have yet to do so here. It is so fun, though. Let me know if you are interested.
great quote. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree.
Yes, I can definitely see this quote applying to today's USA. The current state of affairs is making me very uneasy, to say the least. I'm glad that I am not the only one that notices it.
