Tonight, Chris Tapp of Credit Action will go head to head Stephen Sklaroff, Director General of the Finance & Leasing Association, to discuss readily available credit - is it a progressive force for good or leading us into debilitating debt? Chris believes that available credit is leading to people living beyond their means and ending up in crippling debt. While he considers credit card companies to be lending both aggressively and irresponsibly. Stephen considers credit to be a democratic force that enables both national economic growth and wealth redistribution. That credit card companies are, in fact, lending responsibly as it would not be in their commercial interest to do otherwise. See the debate unfold here.
