Average consumer

Average US consumer.

Also feel free to add public debt per capita into this - it will be paid from the future taxes after all

Yeah there's absolutely a bunch of rich people carrying over 50k credit card debt they don't even care about that are throwing this off

Thats not how this works…

That is indeed how averages work. For example I commonly have 10k worth of credit card "debt" which is just stuff my company reimburses me for and will be paid in full on the due date. I'm skewing this average because in reality I have no debt.

There's more than one kind of average.
