As to the standard of living argument it's really fuzzy. Yes a family could buy a 38" flat screen TV for MUCH less in 2008 And this is a major element of the standard of living. When you can buy a DVD player for $38 at Walmart, even the poor can afford one. The very FACT that the poor can now afford cable says a lot. If you look back to the 70s, before Reaganomics, the poor couldn't have afforded that $15/month. The poor didn't live in air-conditioned homes, didn't have dishwashers and had to go to the laundromat to wash their clothes. There is really nothing fuzzy about it.
