People who don't work can still do a lot to contribute to society

It frosts me when they say Ann Romney never worked a day in her life. She raised 5 kids for cryin' out loud.

The left's feminist flank has been trying to denigrate homemakers (dare I say housewives) who have been the backbone of civilized society for centuries.

And basically that's where we are going to end up again. Before the recession is over, we will have returned to single wage earner families. It will not be a sex segregated recreation of the 1950s, but we are going to have more intact families for economic reasons, and single wage earning families.

Just like we experienced a debt bubble, we may have been experiencing a jobs bobble. Historically, 90% employment was considered good, and 5% to be full employment. The jobs numbers of the bubble decages were not the historical norm.
