It's not sustainable for 7 Billion people.

Wouldn't happen because at least the country would starve to death before that happens.

Me too, then and now.

Me: I enjoy the effort.

No worries, Bruce, there's never gonna be a 'night watchman' or a Golgothan-style anarchy in America.

Far too many want to be governed (regulated & directed) and far too many are more than happy to govern (regulate & direct).

No, your future is secure...you'll be well-tended to, provided for, sheltered, insulated, 'educated & entertained'.

Good on you.

I'm not worrying about that happening here, I was just thinking about what it would be like in your minarchy. I ain't scart.
