Liz Truss Defends Plan to Lift Cap on Bankers’ Bonuses

This is the sh** that falls from the bull! Liz Truss's understanding of economics leaves much to be desired. This is yet more 'trickle-up' economics, i.e. economics which makes the rich, richer still and the poor, poorer still.

This voodoo economics will not lead to economic growth; in fact, it will probably lead to economic contraction. If policies like these led to economic growth, this country would have one of the fastest-growing economies on the planet. These neoliberal policies have been followed since Thatcher was in office back in the 80s; and look at the parlous state of the UK economy today! – © Mark Alexander

Trickle down economics is a load of bullshit! No economist (or politician) worth his or her salt would ever promote such a stupid theory. The theory has already been discredited. – © Mark Alexander
