We already have way too many lawyers now, and so pretty soon no more middle class.

Don't worry, lawyers are easier to outsource than engineers. Buy a backhoe, or learn plumbing, if you want to be prosperous and independent. My brother in law quit programming in Java and started an applicance repair business. Three months in and he bought two more trucks and hired four helpers.

the law profession will grow whatever increased resources they need to suck in to pay the salaries of all the new lawyers. we laugh now at things like suits against fast food companies - but they will be reality in 10+ years.

we have zero chance at ever getting tort reform - too many american parents are sending their kids to law school as the profession of choice to have any shot at being financially well off - they aren't going to support killing that off.

So, you recommend a future for Americans of digging ditches and itinerant repairing as our future, while the Chinese and the Indians design and build these the computers and buildings and autos and appliances. And they do the scientific research, while we dig in the dirt and repair chiinese made shoes.
