They probably just need the extra money to pay for their Adult Children still living at home. Nothing to see here, all is going according to our plans.
You are somewhat right. Many adult children and their families are ending up with the parents because of the crap economy, massive layoffs and the general lack of anything other than at or near minimum wage jobs.
Most aren’t going to let the kids and grandkids starve or go homeless. Happened during the great depression and it’s happening again during this great depression.
Now, as then, vote for democrats and you get bent over the table for your efforts.
