Barbara Billingsley, known for her role as June Cleaver on the hit sitcom “Leave It To Beaver,” died Saturday in her home in Santa Monica, California. She was 94.
Jerry Mathers, who played "the Beav" lamented about her loss and indicated she was a real mother in every sense of the word. She helped Mathers on the show and taught him some table manners.
Male teens often fantasized about her. She was a beautiful women, a fact not lost to the creepy Eddie Haskell, who was always complimenting her appearance.
"Leave it to Beaver; represents a bygone era in which an American worker could make enough to support their family. In the 1950s women who worked were often looked down upon because they often did not bear children.
That all changed with Reaganomics which cut the tax tables for the most affluent Americans. To make ends meet, spouses had to enter to work force. The middle class was able to hold its head above water until George W. Bush was elected.
Bush further reduced the marginal tax rate for the top income earners, cut capital gains tax to 15 per cent and suspended the Estate Tax that only affected America's top 5,000 families.

This not only increased the deficit, it had a negative effect on employment. During the George W. Bush presidency, most of the rhetoric talked about productivity improvements in the workforce, not about employment. .
By 2006, the Great Recession had started. the Bush Administration denied the US was in a recession until after the 2008 elections.
