good post. increasingly, the middle class is going to be made up of government workers.

and you are correct about the "education bubble". its already starting with engineering, enrollment is down and its going lower, market forces are steering people away from it. i guess we'll have to make do with even more lawyers. at some point, americans who only have to look forward to working in the service industry will find they don't really need much college, especially 4 year degrees and anything in the sciences.

The company I'm with can't find enough S/W engineers. We're in the process of hiring 400 over two years.

BTW, I don't live offshore.
