How many families --- 6, 7, 8 or even more kids were living in one-income families, one wage-earner was able to support the entire family, no food stamps, no housing subsidies, no Medicaid? How many one-income families are there today in comparison --- which get no government help? My own father with a high school diploma, a family of 7, a stay-at-home wife was able to buy a house in his early 20's, pay it off in 15 years, and a lot more ---- that was pretty common back then --- today two college graduates would have some trouble affording that same house he bought in his early 20's --- and with a 30 year mortgage.
