Some Americans understandably value the breadwinner-homemaker ideal, since it helped more families survive after World War II. Unfortunately, however, those days are gone as wages stagnate while basic costs like healthcare and housing increase and productivity gains accrue to an increasingly small portion of society. Such an arrangement no longer seems financially or politically sustainable.
