Unless you're in the top 10% of wage earners, you'll need two incomes. Day care costs would eat a lot of the second income anyway. The college loans still exist as many here have masters and PHDs. Singles at 35+ live with roommates as if they were in their early 20's.
Wonder why Donald Trump has risen so high so fast?
Lots of hispanic women with 2 or 3 little kids in tow, another on the way. Guess who gets to pay for them?

- hiram112 11y agoSJWs like to imagine that massive immigration of non-educated foreigners creates jobs and raises wages cause they believed the studies pumped out by the Heritage Foundation and Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who points out the actual economics of this, in a society where there are MORE people now than available jobs, is labeled xenophobic, racist, and now, it appears, 'low class'.
