We need to get back to a time when one income was enough to sustain a family.  This economic change happened, of course, when women fought their way into the workplace.  The same amount of work for twice as many people equals hiring twice as many people at half the pay.  Though it happened too gradually to be that obvious, this is the gist of it.  Not that I am against females working.  But if you are going to have children, you need to have somebody to raise them.  And if you are just going to put your children into day care, why have them in the first place?  I understand not all pregnancies are intentional but there are important decisions to be made beyond the sexual act.  Unfortunately, the only way to get back to the one income family is to gradually eliminate one-half of every marital partnership from the workforce.  Since this is antithetical to most Americans way of thinking that they need to work to get the stuff they want, this is unlikely to happen.  We also have a mentality to deal with that if you are not working you are not contributing to society, which is bunk but still the mentality.
