Bread and Circuses

There are many who believe that Bread and Circuses led to the downfall of Rome – in large part because the majority of citizens had no need to work or engage in military service Many also believe that modern day America, with over half the population on some sort of public assistance and free or very low cost entertainment forms are leading the current society to the same fate as Rome.

What parallels to Ancient Rome and the current US society do you see? Be sure to focus mainly on the Kinesiology or “Circuses” side of the discussion.
