"In constant dollars our family income purchasing power is less now than 50 years ago. That's why husband and wife must both work. Please get some economics education."

Bull Pucky, The Family income purchasing power is now based on buying McMansions and having a color TV in every room and two 40K SUVs in the garage.

If we would live as we did 50 years ago (or even 30 years ago) we would have waaaaaay more disposable income and one parent could work and support the family. When apples and apples are compared we are actually far ahead in this day and age in the wealth game.
