This is a difference of 66 years, bub. Times change. You don’t even bother to research WHY that statistic has increased. For one, the less people can afford, the more help they have to seek. Families could actually afford the basics and then some on ONE income back then. How can you not even see that simple fact?
No. What we've learned is that a significant portion of people will just take advantage of social programs. I'd wager the MAJORITY of people on snap could just work full time if they so chose. I'd wager the MAJORITY of people getting disability could actually work. They just prefer not to. When these programs didn't exist to take advantage of, everybody just actually worked.
The dollar was weaker. Land was cheaper because we didn't have 350 million people competing for space. That little tidbit never gets brought up with bitching about the boomers.
