> I don't think you'd like their "single income could support a middle class family" lifestyle. I don't think anyone here would be comfortable with that. If on

  There has. Have you checked how many extra people there are though? It's a little paradoxical, I know, but you never buy things. You only get to bid on them at auction, an auction invisible to most people. And there are twice as many bidders as before. But this isn't some contradiction of the topic's premise. Many, many of those people weren't born here. Your government sent all those industries overseas, then brought into people from those same places to underbid you on all the crappy service jobs that remained. Told you that you were bigoted and hateful if you objected. Everyone got the progress they voted for, I guess.

  I am not advocating for a lifestyle. The fact a single income is insufficient regardless of lifestyle is my point. There can be stay at home dads or 2 income families that can afford child care for example. The pay for 2 young people during their prime is not enough to get it done in urban areas. It is more doable in rural areas with less people. The wealth has shifted to older people that do not reproduce.
