From a psychological standpoint, human need for money is proportional to what each specific person is interested in buying and what they think is within range. Therefore in some people, credit card dependency can breed an overestimation of what they can afford. The result of this state is an increase in the demand for money to either repay the borrowed credit or suppliment credit purchases with additional funds.
Short Term: [PRO]
In the short term, credit cards allow customers to purchase products and services they would not normally be able to afford. This stimulates the economy at large.
Long Term: [CON]
Individually, each consumer pays interest on purchases not repaid by the end of the month. Comsumers who can not or do not repay this debt can become trapped in a financial quagmire which in the long term can have the opposite effect on the economy at large.
In the current market, credit card companies who fail to regulate the issuance of credit to unacceptable debtors mortgage our financial future and further drive the public demand for more money into unreachable standards.
