Would there be benefits and retraining for all the unemployed CPAs?
CPAs will do what cobol programmers did. They will either upgrade their skills or change fields. Maybe they could become headhunters and find all the lobbyists jobs. As soon as we can get even more tort reform passed they will have a lot more lawyers as clients, also. They should do quite well.
Don't worry about us CPA's. We'll be fine.
