Economic Crisis? Really?

For a few years we've all been hearing about (and feeling) this economic crisis. Throughout the whole ordeal where people have been struggling, going hungry, working part-time for minimum wage (because it's all that seems to be offered), and watching the cost of living go higher and higher, one thing has remained constant. Game shows, home decorating shows, and contests have been getting bigger budgets, bigger amounts of money they can give away to lucky winners. If we have no money - where is this money coming from? And why does it seem that with home decorating shows in particular, it's to people who could do the job themselves but lack creativity? Give someone who is truly struggling a little pick me up. It won't help their job situation, but maybe if they walk into their renovated kitchen that only cost the show up to $1,000, maybe there will be some similance of happiness in their life.

Rich people do not need help in finances and renovations. They should have a cap on these shows, like income-based apartments, and if your combined gross annual income is more than the cap, you can't enter.
