Than Liz Truss, Britain’s PM, whose ill-fated term ended in just 45 days, in which Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng, her Chancellor of the Exchequer, both radical libertarians, proposed borrowing mega amounts for tax cuts for the super rich, which proceeded to instantly crash the pound, tank the nation’s savings, and send interest rates soaring.”
