“And somehow we have transitioned to a society in which the middle class is shrinking rapidly — and golly you need two incomes to even think about being middle class — and men increasingly do not work, and a great many people are on the dole.”

It’s pretty simple math. Labor is a commodity like any other, and its price is dictated by supply and demand. So, if you double the supply of available labor in a country overnight, while demand remains steady, what happens to the price of labor?
