US keeps falling in happiness ratings

This is a bit of a silly article but it does point out at the end that Trump's policies will make things worse. WaPo reports the World Happiness Ratings are out (yes, there really is such a thing) and Norway is first, with the US  being 14th (we've been falling every year). What is notable is the impact of government policies on happiness because the government influences many aspects to our lives. We have no idea to what extent the government shapes our existence and a return to the Gilded Age won't help. (I can make a historical argument where the American people have rejected the Trump policies - in other forms - twice in modern history and three times since mid 19th century.
