American Depress (New Year's Message In My Mailbox)

Want or need, need or greed. All three grow well in the credit garden. Regulated by naught except desire, To have just a little more, Than the one next door. Then greed ferments into power for the few. Making addicts of the many, Drinking ever deeper into debt. Buy it now and pay later. Those well-worn words that sound brand new. So go ahead, and place your bet. And later learn what the house rule really is. Those with the very least, Always pay the most.
