I've been told by a close friend who's an early Baby Boomer who's parents were therefore in the Greatest Generation that thoroughly experienced the Great Depression that there was a lot of social pressure against households with more than one job holder. I think we can expect plenty more insane proposals as our current Great Recession grinds on and on. Fortunately our system of government is more responsive to the people, and we've got all these Petri dishes of states and cities that are trying out some of these bad ideas for object lessons, like e.g. Seattle and Michigan with elevated minimum wages. On the other hand Obamacare is pushing vast numbers of hourly workers into < 30 hours per week for any single job ... so, really, we're already starting to do this to people with lower paid jobs :-(....
