"This CARD is my treasure; I shall not want.
I take it with me to lie down for green
dollars:
It leadeth me into the spa waters.
It restoreth my lap pool:
It leadeth me on the path of spending more
than I can ever make.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of debt
I will hear no evil: for thou art with me; my iPod and my iPhone comfort me.
Thou purchased this screen before me, all 72 inches of plasma:
thou filled my breasts with silicone; my D cup runneth over.
Surely, the principles of buy now and pay later shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the CARDS until they collapse."

The collapse has come. Like Icarus, excited by the thrill of flying, we were overcome by the thrill of buying. Yearning to possess all the world has to offer, with little regard to repayment, we flew too close to the sun. Our wings, instead of wax, were crafted of plastic—overused, we are now undone. We are a nation drowning in the Sea of Debt. We must now learn to soar again without the use of our laminated wings.
