Is it possible to fake a degree in the US to get a high paying job?
Not a six figure job, but maybe something in the 60k-85k a year range?
Do employers actually ask for a copy of your degree in hand or do thorough background checks if it's just a regular job?
Yes
Thorough background check usually.
I've lied my balls off my resume. Some check into it, some don't. Depends entirely on the company you're applying for.
It's really awkward and somewhat entertaining at the same time when/if you get busted.

You can still lie to get into sales positions but thats because why vet you? You live on commision - sink or swim
Faking degrees is still extremely rare, and most employers don't check that. They usually only do criminal background checks
The more prestigious the job the more thorough they will be.
Most employers won't do any kind of background check for sub ~50k jobs though

The higher paying the job, the more chance of a resume check. That's pretty much the answer to your question. So yes, something in 60-85K p.a. would encounter degree verification.
Yes but you have be prepared - spend money on a great document - fake a few transcripts - here's the thing it is almost always a co-worker that you tell that burns you.
