Not really. You could argue that it's been like this for a while. Depending on what you want to judge, there's

- Johnson's Great Society (Medicaid and Medicare, urban renewal, War on Poverty)

- Eisenhower (Interstates, the first nationwide public transportation network)

- FDR (The New Deal, Social Security)

I would go even earlier

- Fugitive Slave Act (Federal government uses military force to kidnap people who were, according to the laws of the state they were in, free citizens and force them back into captivity)

I'd go even further:

- The Constitution, which was a coup that displaced the old confederation of states.
