Happy New Year to you too.
The serious side of that joke is one major reason healthcare went through the roof in the 70’s - the Leftist Law Mill that abominated personal risk and responsibility. Government caused the healthcare cost problem and as usual government’s answer is more government.
Four years ago, I graduated from Regent University Law School, a Christian university and very good in many respects. There’s actually prayer and Biblical devotions before every law class and they have a required course and other courses on the Christian history and foundations of Anglo-American law - very good and very unique.
Being in my 60’s and having gone around the block a few times, I was able to sort out a lot of lies from the truth, especially in Constitutional Law, where, even in this Christian environment, they don’t actually teach you the Constitution, but case law, most of which has very little to do with the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.
I passed the bar and am preparing to be licensed. I have no clue what I’ll do with it. Hang up a shingle as a Constitutional Lawyer? Hmmm. Not a lot of takers I suppose but this is only for supplement income anyway, so who knows? Maybe I could be a judge and hang all the Leftists or at least rule against 100+ years of unconstitutional Court decisions until they kicked me out. Them maybe I would have a platform to preach the recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic. Dunno. We’ll see.
But we both agree, that having the law degree has helped both of us is ways that can't be counted.
Just knowing the law and how to maneuver in the world of business and contracts has made life easier.
