http://www.denverpost.com/ci_12872643 We will see more families growing more "nuclear" as the Recession rolls onwards, in some ways that is a good thing as modern life tends to pull families apart, on an economic scale though, it's not so good as pooling resources tends to reduce consumption and economic acitivity.
I like this story. I think it will pay off for the kids in the long run. We could also stand with less consumption. I understand there will be a price to pay in terms of GDP but at some point the country needs to stop spending like drunken sailors
