"Standards of living have improved drastically over the past several decades."

Because most married women work now. They didn't then. And if they did work, the typical pay women got was much, much lower than what a man got. How well do you think the average family would fare if only the husband worked?

Correct. Because of debt.

>I don't think people want to return to the gas lines of the 70's, for example.

I was there, nit wit. I didn't experience those personally, because they didn't happen in Texas. Nationally, they were a phenom for maybe a MONTH of the entire decade. The rest of the time, you could fill up for less than $.50 a gallon.
