This is 100% the result of Reagan’s trickle down economics, a policy his own Vice President called ‘voo-doo economics.*’

In 1980, ‘middle class’ was still seen as one income supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. was through, ‘middle class’ meaning two jobs was established as the norm.

*Bush used the phrase before Reagan offered him the Number 2 job; suddenly he was fine with it.
