You missed the fabulous argument that the nation is creating thousands of news jobs.

Nevermind that the BLS statistics put the job growth in hotel maids, bartenders, and nursing home bed pan changes or the jobs you'd rather not have your children aspire to.

Uh, oh, now you've let the secret out. The Next Big Thing, the Next Great Career for American workers is, ta da...changing bedpans. Hey, everyone's getting older, and there will always be a need to change bedpans. Kinda like the mortician trade. Everyone is eventually gonna die, so there will always be a need for undertakers. Can't get much more job security than that.

Trouble is, I wonder what kind of power, economic and military, a country of bedpan changers is going to be? What are we going to do when the Chinese landing craft are hitting the beaches, send our population of nursing home orderlies out to throw their bedpans at the Chinese armor?
