From CNN Money: THE 95% GO DEEPER IN DEBT

So many cringe-worthy quotes.  Here's a sample (emphasis mine):

Quote
The rich are getting richer, and everyone else is going deeper into debt trying to keep up.
Quote

Quote
"The only way they could continue to purchase what they need was to go deeper into debt."
Quote
While Americans have been shedding their debt since the Great Recession, it's come largely through foreclosure or bankruptcy.
