The government has spent decades figuring out ways to lie about this. Are you actually shocked? The number of men who can buy a home and have a stay-at-home-wife on a random job they got out of high school is nigh 0% when this used to be the norm.

Leaving aside your misguided RETVRN subtext, none of this really comes down to government policy. All of it is an emergent wage-cost spiral. As soon as your neighbors collectively decide to have 2 incomes per household it becomes untenable to attempt to be the last household with only 1 income.
