This is not true at all. Look at the homes and lifestyle they led. The issue isn't being able to support a family on one income, the issue is that people expect to be living at a higher standard of living. I work out of a old post WWII suberb, much of my family grew up around there, and they were small, one story homes with a dank basement for storage. They raised full families in these homes and thought it was a good thing. Now no one wants to live in them now and the trend is to do knock downs and put up a more expensive home so it can sell.
Its the expectations that have changed and require two incomes to produce.
