Why are credit card rates hovering at 25–30% when mortgages and car loans are much lower? In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris breaks down the real reasons—and exposes why political calls to “cap” rates at 10% are total nonsense.

  • Why a government-mandated 10% cap would crush ordinary borrowers and lock millions out of credit entirely
  • How to actually use credit cards the smart way (hint: pay in full, collect the perks, never carry a balance)
  • Why politicians keep selling fantasies they know will never happen
