In 1967, one Union job was enough to support a family of four with a house, a car, and money to send the kids to college. At that time, $1 million was considered a vast fortune. GOP Richard Nixon was elected in 1968.
By 1993, ‘middle class’ meant two incomes to support a family. $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
The US had five terms of GOP Presidents and one term of Dem in those years.
Canada, Australia, most of the EU (some were never able to support a family with a single income to begin with, so those don’t count), UK (they had Tacher tho so I will say they had a “Nixon”)

Other countries didn’t have Nixon and the same happened so It must be something more than that.
Or, US economic influence is considerably greater than you considered.
Can you list a few countries where the same also happened? Thanks.

Gee, you mean that the country with the greatest economic influence has influence???
Global affordability issues are a direct effect of the US.
