The economy is currently built on a consumption model.

Look at the average house hold debt, and I'm not talking about those on welfare/and or broke. People, in general, are leveraged to the hilt in the US. The number gets even larger if you factor in mortgages.

Ever wonder why interest rates are kept low? One of the big reasons is to encourage spending, it makes debt cheap and thrift expensive.

This how the country functions even though real wages, once controlled for inflation, have been stagnant for years for majority of Americans.

2k tvs literally cost like 200-300 these days

the latest smart phone is cheap

being well dressed is cheap when you try to be thrifty

cars can be very cheap

the standards of living for poor people have increased substantially because previously expensive things aren't that expensive.

Yeah, it's the Welfare Queen fallacy.

Because if someone, somewhere, is gaming the system, clearly all the poor are living high on the hog.

I mean, being broke and having those things aren't anywhere near mutually exclusive in America. I'm broke* all the fucking time and I have all those things.

*Figuratively speaking. I always have money, but it isn't necessarily spending money.
