I guess my language was a bit too complex there for you to find the point.
Welfare is not what allows people to buy luxury items, the ready availability of massive amounts of credit is.
Anyone with a halfway decent credit score can find a way to pay for a car, a house, whatever. Sure, eventually it will catch up to them, but this is all separate from social programs.
Don't assume that because someone is on welfare, that's the reason they can pay for the stuff they have.
