Education has expanded enormously, with extensive government involvement. Compared to the 1950s, kids start school/daycare much earlier, stay much later. Per-pupil spending's way up. Govt spending & regulation on higher education is orders of magnitude higher.

Law enforcement and regulation are more extensive. The Code of Federal Regulations alone has metastasized, as has the United States Code, criminal & civil. The prison population is much larger. Govt surveillance is vastly expanded.
