The Huge Economic Challenge Facing Liz Truss

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Truss prevailed among the Conservative Party faithful by promising a return to Thatcherite basics: low taxes, small government, deregulation, harsh immigration policies, attacks on labor unions, a bigger military, law and order.
56% : When Britain was a member of the European Union, the pound tended to track the Euro closely.
52% : If Brexit hadn't happened, the nervousness in the markets might not matter so much.
43% : The problem she is facing is that her talk of tax cuts, higher defense spending, and more money for the National Health Service has already spooked the British financial markets, where traders have been marking down sterling and U.K. government bonds over the past month or so, on concerns about a gaping budget deficit.
16% : "Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were fiscal profligates who ignored economic advice by cutting taxes and running previously unthinkable deficits; yet the widely predicted catastrophes never followed," Anatole Kaletsky, the chief economist at Gavekal Dragonomics, noted in an article published on Tuesday.
